2023 Semi-Dry Riesling
The 2023 semi-dry Riesling presents a subtle smokiness on the nose, accompanied by a vibrant array of citrus notes, including lime, lemon peel, and a touch of peach. On the palate, it beautifully combines freshness and sweetness, creating a smooth, soothing sensation that gently embraces the tongue.
Winemakers Notes: 100% Estate grown.
- 2.0% Residual sugar
- Two different blocks: The Old Vines, and the Pond Blocks. The Pond is usually picked early for acidity, with the Old Vines (over 30 years old) providing complexity and heft.
- The fruit was brought in and fermented separately to create two separate blending options that fused together.
In 2023, early spring and budbreak raised concerns about frost damage, confirmed by the destruction seen on May 15th. The vineyard team adapted by selecting the best parcels to craft a wine that reflects this challenging year. Their commitment to quality is evident in every bottle, particularly in the Semi-dry Riesling, which highlights the unique strengths of the vintage with its varied sugar levels and acidity.
Food Pairings: Asian fusion and curries. Sausage and sauerkraut. Sushi with wasabi and BBQ shrimp.
