Carrick Bannockburn Central Otago Dry Riesling 2017
Description
Carrick’s wines are all about texture. They look to produce a diverse range of wines that will accompany the beautiful creations produced in the restaurant on site at Carrick. The 2017 Dry Riesling is mineral by nature, with aromatics that would lead you to think the wine was heavier in the palate, when in fact the natural acidity obtained from our vineyards helps to deliver a long clean refreshing finish. The texture and complexity of this wine are derived from the nature of barrel fermentation. The barrels are great vessels for fermentation, with naturally occurring wild yeasts each barrel is unique.
All of Carrick Rieslings are hand harvested and picked early to preserve the compelling floral aromatics which are characteristic of Central Otago. The wine has been whole bunch pressed and fermented naturally with wild yeasts, and is fermented in ten year old French oak barrels. No fining agents or enzymes are used on the wine which follows our philosophy of organic farming.
Food Pairing: A palate cleansing wine that screams out for oysters or diamond clams.
