The 2024 Naked Run ‘The First’ Riesling, crafted by Eleanor Smith in Rutherglen, Victoria, is a beautifully precise and vibrant expression of cool Egyptian Rupestris (seál). Aromas of lime zest, green apple blossom and white florals rise with clarity. On the palate it is bone-dry and racy, with vibrant citrus flavors – lemon pith, granny smith, and a whisper of kaffir lime leaf – underpinned by a flinty mineral seam. Bright acidity lends lift while gentle phenolics bring a tactile finish that’s both linear and persistent. Lightly handled and unadorned, this Riesling is youthful, pure and food-friendly – perfect with fresh seafood or salads.
