This second release of old-vines, dry Riesling shows just how the variety can and does flourish with bottle age. From old, deep-rooted, low-yielding vines on our prized Craighall block, the pressed, unsettled juice was fermented naturally with indigenous yeasts to dryness. This classic beauty is crisp and driven, with a full fruit entry that flares out on the finish. Citrus and lime notes are finely laced with hints of creamy, nutty nougat (think almonds, pistachios). There's a whiff of salty sea breeze, a very pure, tight mineral run across the palate and just the beginning of that trademark Riesling honeyed development. Complex and very complete after 4 years in the bottle, we expect to still be savouring this wine a decade from now. Just 80 cases produced.
