The Wine
Aromatics include citrus blossom, white flowers, sweet floral notes and dried herbs. The palate is crisp, fresh and taut with lemon and lime flavours. It has tight acidity and lovely fruit balance with a lingering, limey finish.
Winemaking
The Riesling comes from one of our young hillside vineyard blocks. The grapes were machine harvested at night, then crushed, de-stemmed and pressed lightly, providing delicacy and elegance to the wine. The juice was fermented using selected yeast to enhance citrus notes and palate structure. It was then cool fermented to retain freshness and varietal character.
