2016 Dry Riesling
Blossom and lime with white peach leading to a stony richness and great texture on the palate. The wine possesses a depth which is becoming more evident with the increasing vine age, giving a serious complexity to the palate and a core seam of acid. A completely clean and long finish.
This is the 20th iteration of this wine, and it might be the finest Dry Riesling yet.
Vinification
Riesling from Block 2 of The Elms vineyard was hand-picked then carefully whole bunch pressed, followed by a long slow fermentation (10 weeks) with indigenous yeasts to almost complete dryness (5g/L RS). The wine rested on fine lees to build palate weight and with minimal processing to highlight the delicate Riesling characters before bottling in early- August.
