Nose
Made purely from
free run juice, this elegant yet full flavoured wine has an abundance of floral
character on the nose.
Palate
palate balanced by zesty citrus flavor and crisp clean
mineral acidity. The complexity and structure of this Riesling ensures terrific
cellaring potential.
Growing Conditions
Due to a colder than normal Spring, fruit set was adversely affected. Bunch
numbers were in line with the previous vintage however bunch weights were
well down. No heatwaves were experienced during the ripening period and
warm sunshine and cool nights prev
ailed for the most part. This, coupled with
smaller crops resulted in intensely flavoured and attractive wines. 50ml of
rainfall after the white harvest in early March delayed the picking of the red
grapes. This freshened up the red grapes and no deleterio
us effects were noticed
in quality. Most red grapes were harvested before Easter and were in excellent
condition. All in all, vintage 2015 in Margaret River will be remembered again
for wines of outstanding quality albeit in lesser quantities.
