Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
A classic palate of zesty lemon, lime and green apple, balanced by a fine backbone of fresh acidity and crisp, dry finish.
Vineyard Notes
2019 started later than recent Coonawarra vintages with good rainfall in the leadup to harvest, followed by a warmer season than usual. Riesling grapes ere picked in optimal condition with vibrant flavours and varietal definition.
Winemaker Notes
This elegant Riesling was cool fermented in stainless steel to retain and enhance pure fruit aromatics. The wine was then aged on lees for eight months with occasional lees stirring to provide texture and complexity.
Food Pairing Notes
Whole baked snapper with chilli and ginger, cider glazed pork chops or barbecued seafood with a squeeze of lime.
