2018 Pooley Riesling

100% Coal River Valley, 90% Pooley Estate grown fruit as the Butcher's Hill Vines came online for the first time.

It was a warmer than average year, with Growing Degree Days for most areas nearing close to the highest ever recorded. The summer average temperature was 1.2°C above the long-term average. It was a warm season, without the extreme heat, giving great ripeness and flavour. Rainfall was slightly below average making for a clean harvest, with minimal pest and disease pressure.

Delicate citrus blossom and lifted lime juice characters on the nose with hints of rose hip and mineral nuances. The palate has a soft and rounded feel with green apple and grapefruit acidity, it carries the lime juice through to the finish with an expansive texture that subsides into a mineral dry grip.
