Riesling Block 1 2003

Felton Road, tasting note (feltonroad.com – produktside feltonroad.com, hentet 2026-10-19): 2003 Felton Road Riesling Block 1 – område: Bannockburn (Central Otago); drue: Riesling. Enkeltmark ifølge arket: The Elms Block 1 (The Elms vineyard). Producentens noter (engelsk): Vintage & vinification: Riesling from Block 1 was hand harvested in late April after a warm dry summer. A very cool yet importantly dry period immediately before harvest resulted in a slow ripening of clean and ripe fruit. Well managed vines with low to moderate yields allow for concentrated fruit flavours. Whole bunch pressing to minimise phenolic pick-up followed by careful winemaking with minimal processing preserves the delicate Riesling characters. Bouquet & Palate A unique combination of aromas including tropical and stonefruit integrate with our Riesling’s hallmark mineral qualities. Initial powerful sweetness coats the palate, yet not cloying due to our cool climate’s ability to retain intense natural acidity. A fun challenge to find the ultimate food pairing – we’ll leave it to your imagination.
