Tope Dual Citizen Riesling 2024 from Clare Valley is a bright, expressive Riesling that leans into perfume, flesh and texture rather than just searing acidity. Think high‑quality, Hill River sub‑region Riesling that is immediately drinkable but built sensibly for the cellar.

Aromatically, Dual Citizen shows lifted notes of sweetened lemon juice, yuzu and Rose’s lime, white florals (orange blossom, jasmine), grass and chalk, with hints of anise and quince paste in the background. The palate is on the lighter side of mid‑weight yet mouth‑coating, with soft marmalade‑like citrus, lemon and peach carried broad and long by enveloping, spa‑salt/chalky acidity, talcy texture and a sour‑apple jangle across a dry‑tasting finish.

Tope Dual Citizen Riesling is excellent with oysters, prawn or fish tacos, salt‑and‑pepper squid, sushi, fresh goats‑cheese salads or lightly spiced Asian dishes, where its citrus, florals and minerality really sing. With multiple 91–94+ point reviews and clear aging potential (5–10 years flagged for the 2023), the 2024 release will again suit both immediate drinking and medium‑term cellaring.
