Description
Region: Bendigo Hills, Central Otago, New Zealand.
Winemaking: The style of this Rock Ferry Riesling is to retain the pure fruit from the vineyard with a hint of residual sweetness, with fine acid giving a linear structure. The flavours are from the site itself. The grapes were hand harvested and whole bunch pressed. The juice was cold settled for 48 hours prior to racking. The wine was cool fermented for 32 days with cultured yeast, selected to retain the varietal purity. The wine was racked post ferment and matured on light lees for 6 months prior to bottling.
Tasting Notes: This golden Riesling has toasted honey, jasmine, and lemon/lime meringue aromas followed by a rich creamy palate with medium toasty citrus acidity and pithy phenolics.
Technical: Alcohol - 13.0%. TA - 8.1g/l. pH - 3.08g/l. RS - 4.3 g/l. Contains sulphites. Certified organic and vegan friendly.
Winemaker: Allan McWilliams.
