A wine that always delivers in flavour and finesse. The Estate Riesling is all estate fruit coming from vines aged around 24-41 years of age. Pressings from the first 450 litres are used. Orchard apples, lily pily and finger lime caviar. Green toffee apple and lemonade stand. A cascade of thirst quenching acidity and some delicate salt crystals add interest to the very slinky palate. Some star jasmine and fennel frond too. A wine that needs to be in your cellar year after year. It’s sure to delight. Serve with plump crystal prawns in oyster sauce.
