WINE MAKING

Harvested early, to retain great acidity, from Riesling vines (Riesling Clone 21B) planted in 1987 within the Four Mile Creek sub-appellation. Only premium free-run juice from Riesling grapes were used for full expression of the fruit. Some of the pure juice was collected from the settling tank and kept in cold storage until after fermentation. After a cool fermentation the pure Riesling juice was added back to the wine for the perfect balance, a process called Sussreserve. The wine was then aged for a short period of time in stainless steel tanks, then bottled, and aged in bottle for 12 months before release.

FLAVOUR PROFILE

Clear and bright with a fresh clean bouquet of bright lemon / lime citrus, golden kiwi, and site specific minerality and wet stone. A light-bodied wine with an off-dry approach and a refreshing finish. Flavours of juicy sweet citrus (Meyer lemon, tangerine) excite the palate; then as the wine warms on the palate look for notes of white peach to develop. The finish has razor sharp acidity which balances the mid-palate sweetness, along with flavours of tangy lime / pink grapefruit citrus, green apple, and mineral.
