Tasting Notes
The colour is bright and beautiful, it shows as green straw in its youth almost crystal clear when held to light but expect this wine to age gracefully and develop more yellow straw colours. Citrus blossom is the overwhelming star here with a touch of passion fruit, floral and minerally backbone. There are hints of the future here with lemon rind, jasmine and lime cordial characters, which indicate this wine, will be a marvel in years to come. On the palate it shows excellent fruit purity and texture with additional dimensions to the usual juicy fruit flavour which you would expect. The extra dimension comes in the form of zingy citrus although understated is present the minerally character from the nose presents like wash river stones whilst green apples give a further enhancement and shows great true varietal character. Our style of Riesling is quite tight due to the old vine source and we feel the wine will have longevity like our reds so if drinking now allow it to breathe a little prior to consuming to give the flavours a chance to announce themselves.
Technical Notes
Sourced from a single Eden Valley Vineyard with old weather beaten vines, which embody the history of the region. Hand tended vines, sorted by bunch and destemmed then we naturally ferment free run juice only, with specific yeast strain we feel ensures the varietal flavour is paramount. The wine is then gently tank pressed and stored on yeast lees for an extended period of time before filtration, fining anf bottling. Only 400 six packs were produced in total.
