Mayfield Backyard Riesling 2022

Acknowledged as one of Orange’s most distinguished sites for Riesling, the backyard block sits at 925m in elevation and faces due North. Picked in the cool of the night and pressed straight into stainless steel. The 2022 shows native finger lime, blossoming jasmine and silver needle white tea. It’s followed by tart orchard apples and chalky minerality with powdery texture. There is delicate precision and handling with the wine finishing with 5 grams of residual sugar, some decent palate weight and lingering length.
