An old world approach to the Castle Rock style. Here we see a play on lees and barrel maturation. 10 months in seasoned French puncheons on lees with minimal stirring. Firecracker flint with zested limes and key lime pie curd. Lilikoi and Buddha’s hand citrus. This is exotically charming and tantalising in its moreishness. Bone dry with an oyster shell salinity on the finish. It’s full of punch and character but with the finesse Castle Rock shows in all their Rieslings. Drink now and will cellar upwards of 8 years then serve with good pork sausages and apple sauce
