Description
"Delicately aromatic riesling with lime, citrus, mandarin and white flower (rose?) flavours. Beautifully pure wine with a hint of oyster shell and mineral character. Quite a textural wine - dry, but not austere with a backbone of fruity acidity" Bob Campbell, Master of Wine, Real Review
The aroma is a quintessential expression of the Pisa terroir with lime sherbet and crisp green apple. The naturally fermented portion provides some interesting depth to the aroma and the palate structure while the 2017 harvest is embodied in the juicy acidity.
Amisfield's aromatic white wines are grown within the friable sandy gravels of the Lochar soils on the top terraces of thier Estate. These soils originate from the last of three glacial periods, a young 450,000 million years ago, as well as the following river flows from the Pisa mountain range.
An unsettled growing season with rain during our December flowering and blasts of wintery conditions during the weak summer. The sugar ripening was slow and acidity balance was a struggle but fortunately we had clean fruit which allowed us to hang the grapes on the vine until we achieved more sugar ripening.
