CELLAR NOTES

The aim for this wine was to make a low alcohol style. The wine was pressed and fined for purity so that there was no fining required later. The juice was inoculated and fermented in tank and when balance was achieved the wine was cooled and SO2 was added to stop fermentation. The wine spent a short time on lees before being racked, stabilised. filtered and bottled.

TASTING NOTES

This is a low alcohol style of wine showing sweet limes and lemons with an intense floral honeysuckle aroma and classic Riesling spice. The palate is fresh showing flinty minerality with natural sugars and acidity giving an impeccably balanced wine with the phenolic structure leaving your mouth refreshed. Please serve chilled.
