Aromas of lemon blossom, lifted floral notes of elderflower and rosewater. Hallmark regional lemon/lime characters-the residual sugar integrates well with the wines natural acidity. The wine has a tension, yet a soft texture ensuring great drinkability.
Fruit sourced from two separate Riesling blocks from the Montara vineyard. Harvested in the cool of night by machine, the grapes were gently pressed to stainless steel for settling and temperature controlled fermentation-with inoculated yeasts. A small portion was wild fermented separately in older French oak. Ferment temperatures not exceeding 14°C. Fermentation was concluded leaving the resultant wine with 4g/litre residual sugar. Wine was aged on lees for 5 months to build texture and complexity before filtration and bottling.
95 Point Rated - Jane Faulkner Halliday Wine Companion
"An off-dry style, this has texture galore filling out the palate, mostly it's an ode to citrus with grapefruit pith and juiciness, home-made lemon-lime cordial and cleansing acidity. Sure it'll age but it's stunning now."
