Greystone Dry Riesling 2009
Lovely juice lime marmalade nose. Funked up on the mid-palate with passion of the flower variety. Aria’s arrival created extended skin contact resulting in a lovely phenolic characteristic in the mid-palate and finishing with complexity and length.
Viticulturist's Notes: A sheltered block away from strong winds and frost risk. This block is on clay soils over limestone deposits, which release enough water for steady vine growth but prevent the vines from becoming overly vigorous. Winemaker's Notes: Only Free Run juice from healthy and ripe bunches was used for this batch of Dry Riesling. The juice was drained pre-pressing straight to tank for clarification before being inoculated for fermentation in stainless steel. A neutral yeast strain was used to allow this pristine juice to express itself. Date of Harvest: 23rd April 2008 Brix at Harvest: 24.9 pH: 2.81 Alcohol: 13%
