Riesling
Denmark, Western Australia
Lifted aromatics of fresh citrus and Kaffir lime leaf with orange blossum overtones. Dry, crisp acidity, minerally and slightly chalky backbone that is well supported by lemon and lime mid palate. A light to medium bodied Riesling with a very long and peristent finish.
$28 each
Description
The fruit was harvested in the early hours of the morning and chilled to 5O C 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.

The Wine Front
“It smells the goods, and it tastes them too. This is quality riesling. It smells/tastes of lemon curd and lemon oil, slate, mandarin and lime leaf, and while it’s dry throughout there’s a suggestion of fruit sweetness; and a suggestion it is at most. This is elegant. This is tasty. This is good.”

The Wine Pilot
“The classic riesling characters of lime and lemon emerge immediately from this Denmark riesling. Delve deeper and other notes of floral orange appear. This is a lightly framed yet flavoursome riesling delivered along fine linear lines. Has a juicy minerally palate with those lime characters re-emerging.”
