The extra ripeness across the Spy Valley Riesling vineyard has not only delivered enhanced flavour purity but a softer acidity and a more genorous alcohol and grape sugar balance than in recent years.

Multi-faceted and complex. Notes of ginger, nectarine, sea-shell with anise, nougat and subtle spices. A dry style, the flavour balance is skewed towards the mineral and complex spectrum with powerful underlying fruit. Texture is the key to this wine with lemon pith, white pepper and spice describing the taste and structure. A clean, vibrant finish that cleanses the palate.

Hand picked over eight passes and the majority of fruit with extended skin contact before gentle pressing. Long natural ferments in oak and stainless steel vessels, on lees until blending pre-Christmas.

Built to age gracefully, the structure will soften over the years and provides the opportunity for extended cellaring. Pleasing drinking from 2017 with no firm expiry date.
