Full aromas of white blossom, citrus and hints of tropical fruit.
Geraldine McFaul at Willow Creek Vineyard
Shows citrus fruits, grapefruit and lime with white blossom and lychee. The finish is balanced and clean.
Some challenging weather conditions around flowering reduced the fruit set and resulting yields. Although temperatures across the ripening period were slightly higher than average the day time temperatures were cooler. This allowed for an extended ripening period and together with low yields gives the wine great minerality drive and finesse while maintaining the acidity.
The Riesling was hand-picked, whole bunch pressed very gently, before settling in tank to clarify the juice. The clear juice was then cool fermented to dryness in stainless steel tank. This slow, cool ferment preserved the absolute fruit purity evident in the grapes, and after blending and filtering, the wine was bottled in early July to retain the freshness and aromatics of the fruit.
