Description
"Pristine and elegantly fragrant, the bouquet shows fresh apple, lemon zest and floral characters, leading to a brightly flavoured palate that is finely textured and brilliantly structured by crisp acidity. The wine is delicate and delightful, and finishes long and attractive. Off-dry. At its best: now to 2021." Sam Kim Wine Orbit, August 2016
Crisp apple and citrus lemon/lime aromas are the backbone for this off-dry Riesling. A crisp lingering finish enable this wine to be enjoyed now or cellared for the next 3 to 4 years.
Spring was dry to start the growing season and late frosts in early December threaten but didn’t impact and fruit set was great. Some rain during the growing season in January provided plenty of nutrients and juicy weight to the fruit. A hot and dry summer delivered a harvest as smooth as can be with continuous fruit supply keeping the winery busy. Overall we received slightly above average yields with optimum quality fruit.
