Kirrihill VSS Watervale Riesling 2025

The fruit here hails from an estate vineyard which was planted in the 1970s in the Watervale subregion, called Slate Creek. Needless to say, there is a slate/minerality to the wine. VSS stands for Vineyard Selection Series. The colour is the palest lemon hue. This is a subtle, finely crafted, lingering style with excellent balance, a fine line of acidity and impressive length. The nose gives us citrus, limes, jasmine and river pebbles. Still delightfully fresh, of course, it has at least 10 to 15 years ahead of it. An exciting Riesling.
