Limited Release Riesling
2018
Riesling
Denmark, Western Australia
Lifted aromatics of ripe citrus with floral overtones and an underlying petrichor character. Dry, refreshing acidity with the wet stone (petrichor), minerally backbone that is well supported by lemon/lime and a pink grapefruit pith mid palate. A light and elegant body with a very long and persistent finish.
$45 each
Description
The fruit was harvested in the early hours of the morning and chilled to preserve fruit intensity in the lead up to processing. Some pre-pressing cold maceration occurred to maximise mid-palate texture. Only free run juice was used for this wine. Fermentation was carried out under temperature controlled conditions (12 - 14°C) with a select German yeast extract for 25 days. Click HERE for full tasting note

“Wild ferment in French oak, on lees for 9 months. In the hands of winemaker Andrew Hoadley, who crafted the Limited Release range in 2018, this unexpected riesling makes perfect sense; zippy, texturally complex, layered and long. Hoadley has a way with wines that defies one's ability/desire to write down tech specifics ... you learn to just put down the pen, pick up a glass and listen. It's an undefinable energy that he injects into his wines. This has a plush cheesecloth character on the palate that begs another sip. And another. And, it's gone.”
