WTN: A very nice, affordable OZ Riesling

2006 Palandri, Riesling, Western Australia, $13. Lime, peach and petrol aromas lead to lemon/lime flavors. Lean and crisp, this is definitely a food-friendly Riesling at a great price; 88/90.

This is my first experience with this winery.

Sounds good. Do you know who imports/distributes the wine in the USA?

A NY firm. http://www.mhwltd.com

Thanks, Randy.

Palandri are a big (and slightly controversial) wine company in Western Australia. Whilst they're certainly commercial (I think a little too much so for some in the region), the wines I've tasted haven't been bad and I suspect there's some decent value to be had at times. Not a company whose wines I'd actively seek out for tasting (in fact I'd tend to veer away from them), but maybe a useful commercial counterbalance to the Margaret River norm.

Agree, Ian. Some of their wines have appeared at various wine shows here and are very drinkable. No sign of the Riesling, I just checked on the `net!!
