Winemaking

Another great vintage for our classic example of Central Otago Riesling. As per previous harvests the majority (70%) of the juice, mostly the free run portion, was inoculated and cool fermented (15-17°C) in stainless steel tanks to retain varietal purity. The remaining juice was fermented wild in older French barrels for texture and complexity as it enhances the mineral and flint characters. Ferments were then stopped early by chilling in order to retain appropriate sweetness for this medium dry style (RS 28g/L) and therefore also a lower alcohol.

Tasting Notes:

This medium-dry style entices with aromas of rose petals and orange zest and has a lively palate of citrus fruits with a touch of ginger. Smooth and polished, it leaves a lasting impression.

Alc: 11.5%
