Capel Vale Single Vineyard Series Whispering Hill Riesling 2021

This Mount Barker vineyard has long been a source for some some of Capel Vale’s best wines, especially its riesling. This one is quite tightly held with a high degree of palate tension creating a distinctly linear mouth feel. Minerally with a little Great Southern sickness. It’s an excellent example of the site and the vintage.
