Description
Description:
In 2020 we picked a smaller than usual tonnage from our Eden Valley vineyard. Despite drought conditions, the result is one of the best Riesling vintages we have seen in a decade. There is no residual sugar retained as the season produced balanced wines with pristine citrus and mineral flavours. The nose has a floral perfumed edge to it, which makes it lovely to drink as a young wine. The palate is tight and restrained at present and will cellar for many years to come. Tank fermented.
Colour:
Pale straw, bright green hue
Nose:
Clean and pure with an abundance of lemon and lime. The citrus characters are enhanced with attractive floral, perfume and talcum powder notes.
Palate:
Crisp and dry with an amazing acid backbone. Pure characters of citrus and mineral/slate at the forefront with subtle background guava flavours.
Cellaring and Food:
This wine is drinking beautifully now and will age elegantly with cellaring (at least 5 – 15 years). We recommend serving this Riesling chilled with fresh oysters, chilli prawn skewers or cured Atlantic salmon.
