$65
A layered, full-bodied Riesling style wild fermented in a single large old oak puncheon and left to mature on its lees.
Light yellow colour, showing some early development, the bouquet showing earthy, slighty toasty development, with a lifted suggestion of volatile acidity and not a lot of riesling fragrance. The wine is texturally rich and full, with breadth across the palate, soft and dry and showing the textural effects of barrel use and time on lees. A change of pace for this producer. Huon Hooke

Tasting Notes
Pale with green tinges. On the nose, preserved lime, dried rose petal and pear. A Cox’s orange crunch. Clean and clear palate; vibrant and juicy with great length.
Winemakers Notes
After selective picking, the fruit is gently bag pressed and cold settled for 48 hours. Post racking, the juice is inoculated with a neutral yeast and fermented at cool temperatures for around three weeks. After the fermentation the wine spends around 6-8 weeks on lees before being prepared for bottling.
