Viticulture Notes
Grapes for this wine were machine harvested in the cool early hours of the morning and locally processed to ensure the preservation of the fresh fruit flavours. A selected aromatic yeast was chilled to slow and then stop the fermentation and this has contributed considerable intensity in the fruit aroma. Minimal processing and early bottling on the 13th of July have also helped retain the concentrated rich Riesling fruit flavours.
Cellaring
Ready to drink now, the screw cap closure ensures confident cellaring potential for 3 - 5 years.
Food Match
Riesling is a very versatile variety - suitable either at lunch as an aperitif or with dinner. Match to seasonal vegetables and salads. Wonderful with fresh asparagus and salmon.
