Last Light Bannockburn Riesling 2022 - 12 Bottle Case deal
Soaking up the 'last light' from the day's sun, our grapes for this wine ripen slowly, creating delicious, intense fruit flavours.
Our 2022 vintage is a stunning, medium/off-dry Riesling with vibrant aromas of sweet apricot, freesia, perfume, citrus blossom and a touch of nettle.
The palate is off-dry to medium with ripe apricot, tangelo, lemon, grapefruit and good minerality. Complex with crisp acidity balancing nicely with fruit sweetness and leading to a long citrus finish. Awards
