Limefinger The Solace Polish Hill River Riesling 2021

This is the first time this wine has appeared under the Limefinger label and what a wonderful addition. The grapes come from 30 year old vines on the “Home” block, which is planted around Neil’s house. If it is possible, this is even clearer than the Learnings – gin clear. You could be forgiven for thinking you held in your hand a glass of water. Again, those wonderful lime notes, although they really might be more at the grapefruit end of the spectrum, and a steely background. This is tight and concentrated, offering characters of lemongrass and river stones. Vibrant acidity grabs the attention, but everything is in perfect balance. A wine of great length. This will surely go twenty years or more in a good cellar. Drink the Learnings while waiting for this to fully develop, but be in no hurry with either. 2,000 bottles.
