A mix of free run juice with a portion seeing some contact with skins. The Hills really are alive with the vibrancy of fruit for this 2023 vintage. Lime cordial, icy pole and mountain dew, the natural kind not the soft drink. A hint of grapefruit pith, pumice stone and elderflower. It’s a lovely balance of crunchy acid and green apple fruit sweetness. A Riesling for all Riesling lovers, whether Germanic or Australian. This hits all the notes from elegance, thirst quenching punch and that Riesling recipe for drinkability.
