1000 rieslings later, these are the best so far….

Posted on Oct 14, 2016

We’re 2/3 through this year’s Australian wine show season. We’ve logged more than 20,000 scores and started wondering which was heading for this year’s best and fairest. Like many wine shows, we started with rieslings. More than 1000 scores have been posted for dry rieslings so far. After spending three days and nights cleaning up the data and running the scores through some statistical calisthenics, these are the top 50 rieslings so far:
