An aromatic bouquet full of lemon curd, lime and flinty minerality, following through to the palate with excellent line and length. Vineyards Produced a single vineyard in the Frankland River Region. This region is perfectly suited to producing many red and white varieties due to its continental climate combined with low vigour and moderate ripening conditions. A cool climate region which results in wines with elegance and structure. Season Rains during the month of January helped to freshen up the vineyard and top our dams and water tanks. Fortunately these rains were followed by sunny dry conditions and we found minimal disease pressure in the vineyard, which was mitigated with a little crop thinning. Yields have returned to normal cropping levels. Harvest Date March 2023 Winemaking Finely clouded juice racked to Stainless Steel Barrels and pressings racked to older white oak barrels. Wild fermentation commenced after 5 days under controlled cool temperatures Once fermentation had completed to dryness the wine was topped and allowed to sit on its own lees for 3 months. Finally the barrels were blended and prepared for bottling. Tasting Notes This Riesling is wild fermented in small stainless-steel barrels.
