2023 Late Harvest Riesling

Appearance
Pale straw with a green tinge.

Bouquet
Fresh aromatic nose of ripe riesling notes of nashi pear, talc and Granny Smith apple.

Palate
Intense and rich palate, sweet ripe grapes and citrus, balanced by bracing acidity to give it a sherbet-like zesty finish and balance the sweetness.

Fermentation
Late harvested Riesling was pressed into stainless steel tank for fermentation at 12 degrees C for 5 days, then chilled down to stop the process and retain sweetness. The wine was then fined, filtered, and bottled early to retain fresh fruit driven characters, residual sugar and balancing acidity. Bottled September 2023

Conclusion
Enjoy over the next 2 to 6 years with desserts and cheeses.

REVIEWS & RATINGS

96 Points, Philip Rich, Halliday Wine Companion - 'Fermented in stainless steel and bottled early with 95g/L RS. A very bright green gold. Aromas of lemon sherbet, orange blossom and a little Mirabelle plum pervade this sweet yet zesty, well-delineated and balanced riesling. A simply delicious wine that would work a treat with soft cheeses or a passionfruit souffle!'
