Wine Details
Vintage: 2020
Alcohol%: 8
Harvested from our premium Riesling block and gently pressed with the finest juice retained. The juice was allowed to clarify, and the clean, fresh juice was fermented cool (14-15°C) in tank with a selected yeast strain.
Post-ferment, the wine was left on fine lees for one month, before racking and stabilising. Filtered and bottled within 6 months of fermenting to retain aromatics and freshness.

Very aromatic. Fresh and lifted cumquat blossom and honeysuckle. Varietal kaffir lime leaf, peeled mandarin, honeydew melon and pome fruit. A touch of nettle and an undercurrent of wet river stone.
