Riesling 2014
DESCRIPTION
Tasting Notes
Brilliant, yellow gold. Classic varietal characters of lime zest and an underlying slate has developed beautifully and integrated over 7 years in bottle.
Wine Making
The fruit was picked in two batches in mid and late February, early in the morning, to keep the fruit as cold as possible. Only the free run juice is used to produce pristine juice high in acidity without phenolics. The juice is fermented in stainless steel with a neutral yeast and temperature control to preserve aromatics.
Cellaring
Vintage in 2014 provided warm dry conditions before cooling in the ripening period. These conditions produced an elegant wine, with varietal character and crisp acidity. Enjoy now with freshly shucked oysters, or flash fried salt and pepper calamari.

Palate:
An integrated palate of lemon and lime zest marmalade and minerality. The acidity of youth has given way to a smooth and cleansing finish. This wine makes lovely drinking now, at the peak of its development .
