Rock Ferry Late Harvest Marlborough Riesling 2018 (375ml)

Description

Apricot, Dessert, Honey

The nose shows enticing aromas of honeysuckle, citrus peel, and beeswax. Moving through to the palate gives notes of toasted lemon, honey and into characters of ripe golden stone fruits. The luscious sweetness is countered by a lively acidity that brings a freshness to the wine and extends out to a lengthy finish.

Their aim in the vineyard is to grow the best fruit they can so it can speak of its home and express its personality. To do this you need healthy vines and soil. By practicing organics and incorporating some biodynamic principles they believe they are doing their best to help achieve this and let their vineyards evolve and speak as they would like.

The grapes were hand harvested and whole bunch pressed into stainless steel barrels for fermentation with selected yeast. Once the desired alcohol and residual sugar balance was reached the fermentation was stoped and the wine was matured on full ferment lees till December 2020 when it was racked and prepared for bottling.
