Description
"A warm & productive summer put plenty of flesh on this wine. The fruit is issued from Rippon’s mature vines, whose root hairs have invaded the schist rock below. Lurking towards the end of the first mouthful is substantial phenolic power and it soon starts to take charge of the wine… and give it its sense of place." - Winemaker Notes
"The 2020 Mature Vine Riesling is different again. Maybe I can't walk into this Riesling with any preconceived notions about the flavor. It has a tight, compact, lithe, crystalline, floral (almost talc-y) countenance. The wine fills the mouth, then hits the back palate with flavor and drive. I like this so much, but it may be the outlier. The acidity is pert and even a little frisky. Brilliant energy." - 94 Points, Erin Larkin, Wine Advocate
