2009 Riesling
Winemaking Notes
The 2009 vintage was quite a cool year resulting in good conditions for the production of cool climate Riesling. The fruit was picked between 11 and 12 Be to enable the production of a citrus and minerally style Riesling with the characteristic cool climate floral characters also evident.
The fruit was fermented at low temperatures and with one aromatic and one neutral yeast strain to preserve and enhance the natural fruit characters of the wine. Following fermentation the wine was stabilised and bottled under screw cap to ensure maximum freshness.
Tasting Notes
The 2009 Riesling is a vibrant, lively wine. The nose displays aromas of lime leaf and jasmine whilst the palate shows mineral characteristics with fantastic fruit purity and steely acidity.
