2025 Josef Chromy Riesling (2025)

Riesling grapes were picked at optimal
ripeness in late March from our Tamar
Valley Relbia vineyard, and in early April
from our Coal Valley vineyard.
The grapes were gently pressed under
CO2 cover to help preserve delicate
aroma compounds. Only the free run
juice was retained and highly clarified to
further support the pristine aromatic
profile of the finished wine.
A cool fermentation took place thereafter
in a stainless steel tank, lasting about
two weeks and monitored daily. Upon
completion, the wine was left to settle,
before being racked off its gross lees
and allowed to further develop for
several months before bottling.

Colour - Pale lemon-green

Aroma - The nose is elegant, fresh and pure. Lime juice and zest lead the way with chalky minerality, juicy nectarine, as well as floral notes of honeysuckle and Jasmine.

Palate - The wine is dry, mineral driven and focused. Flavours of lime, fresh mint, white peach, nectarine - all fill the palate with flavour and texture, leading to a long and precise finish.
