Riesling

Otago, New Zealand. A bright and vibrant nose of spring blossom, mandarin and freshly sliced ginger. The palate flows effortlessly from the aromatic introduction with further flavours of pear and tropical fruit. Rich and textural initially, with the crisp acidity driving a long and dry finish...

Marlborough, New Zealand. A classic New Zealand, off-dry style, with rich fruit and juicy acidity. Complex varietal characters of lemon citrus, mandarin and stone fruit with a long, mineral finish. Harmless crystals may form in the bottle...

Marlborough, New Zealand. A more old world style wine with more texture and complexity compared to the pure styles of Riesling we make for the Framingham bottling. A little bit of extra hang time on our oldest vines, hand harvested, bunch pressed with no juice clarification, fermented with uninoculated yeasts and left on lees for 11 months prior to bottling. Harmless crystals may form in the bottle...

Marlborough, New Zealand. A botrytis affected, low alcohol sweet wine. Extremely concentrated and viscous. Showing varietal characters of zesty lemon, orange marmalade and honey, with a long, mouth-watering finish. Harmless crystals may form in the bottle...

Frankland, Western Australia.  An extremely distinguished riesling that slowly opens up in the glass, this wine reflects the uncompromising criteria used in fruit selection. It has a purity of flavour and exceptional balance and a natural acidity that carries the wine now and for years to come...

Frankland River, W.A. Consistent with the now well-established Rieslings produced by Frankland Estate this wine displays the balance of pristine fruit flavours and laser-like acidity resulting in an exceptional wine that can be enjoyed now or cellared with confidence...

Frankland, Western Australia.  A complex, beautifully balanced combination of fruit intensity, sweetness, acidity and alcohol resulting in a wine of exceptional charm and poise. The 20grams per liter of residual sugar is counterbalanced by the refreshing varietal acidity of the Geisenheim clone; resulting in an 'off dry' elegant wine that is fragrant, delicate yet achieving presence...

Wachau, Austria.  There is a crescendo of flavors here through the finish that is almost breathtaking. At the same time, the impression remains seamless and polished. Although I tend toward partisanship toward Hochrain vis-a-vis Singerriedel (particularly as the two mature in bottle), in this instance the Hochrain - fine though it is - comes off as ever so slightly rustic alongside the Singerriedel. Plan to follow the latter through 2020...

Coal River Valley, Tasmania.  Fragrant lemon blossom and tingling flavours of citrus sorbet and golden kiwifruit. Went well with barbequed Tasmanian salmon...

Coal River Valley, Tasmania. Orange zest, lemon blossom and thick raisiny scents transcend into luscious, sweet stone fruit and ripe apple flavours. The finish lingers indefinitely, nourished by characteristic cool climate mineral acid...
