"The palate is well poised with good focus"
The nose has all the typical Central Otago citrus notes of lemon and limes with delicate florals and flint characteristics. The palate is well poised with good focus and a solid core of stone-fruits, red delicious apples and tangelos which tapers into a steely, dry, mineral finish. This wine would benefit from cellaring.
All Carrick Rieslings are hand harvested, and picked early to preserve the powerful floral aromatics and bright citrus acidity which are characteristic of Central Otago. The wine has been whole bunch pressed and fermented with wild yeast. The gentle handling of this wine means that it has been bottled without fining.
