Lime green with straw notes. A classic style of Watervale Riesling with sensuous lime, lemon and floral aromas. The palate is finely structured with intense citrus flavours on the palate balance nicely with the embracing acidity, finishing with good length of flavour.
The 2017 vintage in the Watervale sub region of the Clare Valley was perfect for the production of high quality Riesling. With ideal fruit-set we had a hot December which reduced yield expectations, before rain in late January and early February which slowed down the flow of vintage. Riesling for us was the stand out variety of the vintage and we produced highly aromatic and flavoursome wines. The perfect conditions allowed for optimal flavour ripening whilst it was quite dry this enabled the development of the natural fruit acidity. After picking and crushing we used only the free run juice for our Riesling. Fermentation was over a couple of weeks – after cold stabilizing/filtering, the wine was bottled to retain all those beautiful fruit flavours and natural grape acidity.
