"balanced with a sweet core of citrus, melons and grapefruit zest"
"a long tangelo finish"
This wine has an exotic nose with persimmons, guava and melons. Still very young, this wine has mouthwatering acidity that is balanced with a sweet core of citrus, melons and grapefruit zest. The salty minerality in the wine leads to a long tangelo 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.
