Producentens noter (engelsk): Palliser Estate Riesling 2023 A concentrated, juicy and vibrant style of Riesling with excellent food matching and ageing potential. WINEMAKER Pale lemon. Enjoy now to 2030. Guy McMaster FOOD PAIRING Beautifully pure aromas of white florals, tonic water, mandarin, lemonade popsicle, wet stone and Granny Smith apple. A great aperitif to whet the appetite before a meal, it will also pair well with Japanese and Vietnamese cuisine. 51% of the fruit from our organic vineyard Om Santi, with the balance split between Pinnacles and Palliser Vineyards. Picking Date: March 2023 Bottled: July 2023 Alcohol: 11.0% pH: 3.16 T.A: 8.6 R.S: 14g/L The grapes are gently pressed with 10% taken straight to barrel. The balance cold settled over- night and then racked to stainless tank. The ferment in barrel is carried out by vineyard yeast with 13.5g/L of residual sugar in the tank portion. The wine is aged for a further two months on lees before bottling. Off-dry in style, it's lucious and bright with juice citrus flavours of mandarin and lemonade. A chalky, grippy mouth-feel adding texture to the refreshingly tangy and bitter finish. Like a good gin and tonic (but at a very moderate 11% alcohol).
