2016 Eight Carat Old Vine Riesling

The relatively cool 2016 vintage was ideal for the aromatic and delicate Riesling. Our Gilbert Road vineyard, planted in 1970, relished these ideal vintage conditions and supplied us wonderful pristine fruit. We picked this vintage early to maintain austere vibrancy and natural acidity.
The wine shows a bouquet of grapefruit, guava, elderberry and lemongrass with the palate delivering intense lime, tropical notes and granny smith apple, enhanced by hints of passionfruit and honeysuckle. This fresh zesty style is enhanced by natural acidity and good length of flavour.
