MadFish Riesling 75cl

The wine is pale straw in colour with green tinges. The nose shows limes, passion fruit and floral characters while the palate is clean and refreshing with citrus and bath salts to backup the riper fruit flavours. The finish is quite mineral like with a lovely zing of acid that streaks down the palate. This wine will drink wonderfully from a very young age, but like all good Rieslings it will develop intriguing secondary characters as it ages, allowing for toasty flavours to compliment the primary fruit. Given correct storage this wine will reward cellaring for at least eight years.

The 2009 season has delivered us elegant and linear Riesling fruit flavour and is destined to become one of our finest of vintages for Riesling.

The fruit for our MadFish Riesling is sourced from a variety of vineyards through the subregions of Great Southern: Mount Barker, Frankland River and the Porongurups.

Mount Barker tends to provide fruit with a racy lime and lemon character overlayed with talc and bath salts. Frankland River provides a little more generosity and riper characters with a more perfumed nose and the Porongurups gives tight and elegant fruit with a wonderfully floral nose and mineral palate.
