Marlargo Wines Riesling 2006 Tuesday, May 13 2008
Tasting Notes and Australia and Clare Valley and Variety and White and riesling
I’d say the packaging of these wines really detracts from what’s inside the bottle, which so far has been really pretty good. Then again I’m not in marketing, or more specifically targeting a specific market, although I guess delivering a good product is ultimately what’s most important. This is made by Neil Pike from fruit coming out of the Sevenhill sub-region of the Clare Valley.
Sweet fresh limes, a little toasty development, herbs and mineral make for a very attractive smelling wine. It offers juicy limes, toast and mineral flavours with a good clean acid cut that’s also not without a certain approachable-drink-me-now-and-quickly softness and sweetness. Fine balance and flow throughout closing with a long sweet limey finish. Very tasty and probably at it’s best right now.

the owners of marlargo wines should be congratulated on producing such brilliant wines all of the wines are exceptional>
the label is a bit of a selling point in sorrento due to it being the work of a local artist, it sets the bottle apart from all others.we pour the wine by the glass as well as selling to diners by the bottle. most ask for the wine with the art on the bottle.
we sell 2 pallets (128dz) of sav blanc, 12doz shiraz & 10 dozen reisling in january, at sorrento sailing couta boat club.
