We look for delicate aromatic characters in our Riesling – floral and citrus enhanced by an underlying spicy vibrancy. A brilliant, exceptionally pale straw colour with youthful green tinges. The wine exhibits intense floral and citrus with hints of passionfruit enhanced by an underlying spicy lift. A seamless palate, with initial flavours of mandarin and grapefruit leading to a sherbet mid-palate of passion fruit and spice finishing with classic mouth-watering citrus. The fine structure is testament to the care taken during this wines production.
The grapes for this wine were sourced from one of the few plantings of Riesling in the maritime, cool climate Great Southern wine region. Only the finest, more pristine, “free-run” juice was used in the production of this wine resulting in a palate of outstanding finesse, free from the harsh, phenolic characters and deeper colors associated with grape pressings. A long, cool ferment in stainless steel tanks, minimal fining and the use of screw caps are all further steps towards capturing the inherent delicacy of this cool climate variety.
