The grapes for this wine all come from one specially selected plot of 32-year-old vines on our Jacksons Road vineyard. After the previous season’s small yields, perfect flowering in the spring of 2024 meant potentially above average yields for the 2025 vintage. However, we always reduce our cropping levels to maximise flavours and concentration and coupled with good summer weather this meant the grapes for this Riesling were harvested in perfect condition on 10 April 2025, a little later than our other Rieslings.
Fermentation was stopped early to retain our desired level of residual sugar. It was handled in stainless steel throughout and was bottled slightly later than usual on 28 January 2026.
Pale lemon/straw in colour, it has an enticing citrus nose of lemon and lime, tangelo, orange blossom, crisp apple, herbs and white garden florals. The palate is luscious and mouth-filling with spicy citrus characters, blood orange and grapefruit. Also, classical honey and marmalade with hints of greengage and lemon curd. It is beautifully integrated and moreish, light and juicy with a perfect balance of acid and sweetness. This elegant wine has a long, lingering refreshing finish and promises to age gracefully for many years but is already drinking beautifully.
