VQA
Clear with a bright straw yellow hue and an intriguing aroma of Meyer lemon, Key lime, green apple, and mineral, with a touch of white peach and yellow plum as the wine warms. A light to medium-bodied Riesling with amazing mouthfeel and texture. Wonderful flavours of juicy citrus and peach develop on the palate. Refreshing notes of tangy citrus, guava, white currant, golden kiwi, and a touch of mineral linger on the juicy, just off dry, finish.

WINE MAKING
After daily visits to the vineyard and tasting the grapes to find that perfect taste profile, our winemaker chose to harvest the grapes October 9 through 12. The grapes were hand-picked from our on-site Dr. Muckle Vineyard. The juice was racked to both stainless steel and neutral 500 litre puncheon barrels. The oak puncheons were allowed to undergo a wild ferment (indigenous) with temperatures ranging between 16 and 18ºC and the stainless-steel portion fermented at 10 to 12ºC. Both ferments were arrested when the wines reached a balance between acidity and residual sugar. After three months aging in neutral oak puncheons and stainless-steel tanks, the wines were blended together just before bottling.
