I'm not sure where the name came from and whether or not it has anything to do with the 1990 Tim Burton movie (thought the topiaries on the label seem to confirm a connection). But Hesketh's Scissor Hands Riesling hails from a family who definitively prefers to do things differently, even referencing a line from poet Robert Frost's "The Road Not Taken" on their website. Indeed, an Australian Riesling is off the beaten path for most: what many of us working in the wine retail business would call a "hand-sell", or something one might not automatically come in looking for and would only discover by word of mouth. But Hesketh is one of our favorite little finds in Australia, and their Riesling carries clean, dry acidity and hints of lime, green apple and orange blossom that make it a perfect summer quaff.
