Esk Valley Black Label Riesling 2004 |
| Produced By
Esk Valley Estate Ltd |
| Wine Description |
|
This is a light and delicious wine in a Germanic style. Low alcohol and some residual balance the crisp acidity, making for a balanced and very drinkable wine, ideal as an aperitif. The flavours while young are lime, apple with hints of tropical fuits, which with time will become more complex, with toast and honey notes. |
| Winemakers Notes |
|
After gently pressing in our pneumatic press, the juices were settled bright for fermentation. Selected aromatic yeast strains were employed for fermentation, which was conducted at very cool temperatures. The ferments were stopped to leave some residual sugar, to balance the crisp acidities. The wine was blended and bottled in August 2004. |
