Nose
Reflecting an outstanding vintage in Western Australia’s leading Riesling region,
this is a softly textured, crisp, dry, lemon-lime fruited wine with a fine line of
acidity.
Winemaking
Whilst 2011 was a terrific vintage across the whole of Western Australia, the Great
Southern was arguably the best, with Riesling faring particularly well. We selected
a number of individual parcels of free-run juice from Porongorup, Frankland
River and Mount Barker, fermented them with neutral yeast to retain the inherent
fruit characters, and used minimal additions to produce a varietally pure, excellent
early to mid-term drinking wine.
