Murdoch Hill Artisan Series Sulky Riesling 2024 from the Adelaide Hills is a lively, aromatic Riesling with a slightly more textural, off‑dry twist that still keeps a taut, refreshing line of acidity. This Murdoch Hill Sulky Riesling 2024 opens with lime leaf, nectarine, green apple skin and white florals, layered over wet slate and subtle spice, giving a spring‑fresh, mineral nose.

The palate is light to medium‑bodied and succulently juicy, showing mouth‑watering melon and lime, crunchy green apple and soft pear, with fine, persistent acidity driving through to a chalky, gently creamy back palate. A touch of residual sugar and some barrel ferment/skin contact bring aromatics and texture without making it feel sweet or heavy.

Food‑wise, Murdoch Hill Sulky Riesling 2024 is superb with spicy Asian dishes, Thai salads, chilli‑lime seafood, fresh oysters, sushi or light vegetarian plates, where its citrus, melon and chalky finish cut beautifully through heat and salt. Serve chilled and enjoy young while that exuberant fruit and zippy structure are in full flight.
