2011 Riesling
Winemaking Notes
Selected from multiple vineyards, each parcel was harvested separately, based on the flavours that had developed and the natural acidity in the grapes. Each lot of grapes were gently pressed with no skin contact, and cold settled for five days on average, resulting in clear juice with very few solids. The juice was then fermented at cold temperatures in stainless steel tanks using multiple yeast strains for an average of twenty-five days. The fermentation was stopped when the desired sugar/acid/alcohol balance was achieved, making the final wine off-dry in style. Kept on light lees until final filtration and bottling.
