Tasting Notes
The wine has a pale straw appearance and lifted citrus fruit and lemon blossom aromas. This is a dryer style of Riesling with the fresh acidity balancing the residual sugar. Citrus flavours and floral notes resound on the palate and linger on the clean, tight acid finish.

Food Matching
This wine is made to accompany food, but is particularly paired with mild Asian dishes, seafood or crisp summer salads.

Viticulture
The vines were trained to two canes on a Vertical Shoot Positioned trellis. Balance shoot thinning, leaf plucking and trimming and tucking were carried out to maintain a healthy canopy and ripening conditions. The vintage was characterised by a cool, wet spring and early summer, followed by a moderately warm and dry ripening period. This gave average yields but intensely flavoured fruit. Picking was carried out in mid April.

Winemaking
The fruit was machine picked in the cool evening conditions and lightly pressed, with the pressings kept separate. The clear juice was then racked and cool fermented with selected yeast to maintain the inherent aromatics. The wine was 100% fermented in stainless steel. Serve chilled.
