Riesling 2009

Floral hints of lemon and lime. Citrus blossom, perfumed hints of musk, pineapple and apricot.

Flavours of honey, apricots, papaya and orange with gorgeous mineral overtones and a lovely sweet and acid balance.


Harvest
This single vineyard Riesling from our two-acre block was hand picked in late April, full of beautiful ripe berries at 24 brix, and hints of raisin. Flavours of apricot and honey were showing straight away.

Winemaking
The fruit was whole bunch pressed and fermented with a classic Riesling Yeast Siha 7. Ferment was stopped at low alcohol 10%, has a decent residual sugar and a fantastic acid to balance. This wine was looking fantastic from day one.
