100% Riesling from two sites in the upper reaches of the Coal Valley. Marengo Vineyard in Tea Tree and Colebrookdale Vineyard situated between Campania and Colebrook.
 
Fruit was destemmed and given 5hrs skin contact prior to a very gentle pressing, settled over night then racked to old oak and tank for ferment (natural). Aged on gross lees for 4 months prior to bottling. A small portion went through MLF to temper the abundant acidity and add subtle texture and savoury elements. 
 
Flavours very much in the citrus spectrum, think lemons and limes, along with white blossoms, and green apples. A pleasing pithy character reminiscent of grapefruit & orange peel lingers along with delicate saline notes. The mild growing season leading to a slightly more elegant aromatic profile, matched with an intensity of flavour due to the heavily reduced yields in the vineyard. A fine grained texture is present, but perhaps more subtle compared to the previous iteration of this wine. Plenty of  intense acid as to be expected, keeping things bright, refreshing and driving excellent length.
