Description
"This vineyard has classic Watervale soils - red loam over limestone with a westerly aspect. A dry grown vineyard - meaning it relies only on natural rainfall - the vines are hand-pruned and fruit hand-picked. The limestone allows the soil to retain moisture, which assists the wine throughout periods of warm weather, almost drought-proofing in the summer months. Viticultrual practices include vertical shoot positioning, which not only encourages even ripening but provides important shade to prevent the impact of sunburn on the wine.
Powerful citrus, lemon curd, buttered toast and honey. Hints of fennel with waxy texture. Strong crunchy acid spine with a lingering finish. This aged Riesling still has fantastic ageing potential - with careful cellaring, expect up to another 10 years." - Winemaker Notes
