2022 Felton Road Dry Riesling
$55.00
(1 In Stock)
Riesling from Block 2 of The Elms vineyard was hand-picked then carefully whole bunch pressed, settled for 5 days before racking, then followed by a slow fermentation of 12 weeks with indigenous yeasts to almost complete dryness (3g/L RS). The wine rested on fine lees to build palate weight before bottling in early-September after minimal processing to preserve and highlight the delicate Riesling characters.
Riesling grapes from the schist soils of Block 2 were carefully hand harvested in early April. An extended indigenous fermentation has provided complexity, palate weight and length. Aromas and flavours of apple, cucumber and spice, interplay with complex saline and mineral notes. The dry and long finish highlight this austere and commanding Riesling. A serious and fuller bodied rendition from the slightly warmer and lower yielding 2022 season.
