Tasting Notes

From the Elgo vineyard in Strathbogie. The wine sits seven days on skins after crushing​,​ with free run juice drawn into stainless steel for cool fermentation. The wine sits in tank on gross lees for six months​,​ and is unfined and unfiltered prior to bottling. The hallmark is its phenolic grip​,​ imparting a slight chewiness and Germanic texture. There’s an intricate bouquet of herbs on the nose of rosemary​,​ lavender​,​ thyme​,​ grapefruit and florals. Plenty of richness and drive on the palate which is defined by its gorgeous texture​,​ delivering yellow and green apples and preserved lemon​,​ and a rounded though firmly present acid backbone. Unashamedly an alternative stylistic statement of Australian Riesling.
