The Duchess 2021 Riesling – 6 bottles

New release!  Just awarded 97 points by Winestate Magazine!

The Duchess Riesling was grown in the magnificent volcanic soils near Mount Gambier in the Limestone Coast of South Australia.

Colour: Very light straw with greenish edge

Bouquet: Perfumed and delicate apple and orange blossoms

Palate: Flavours are of apple and mandarin with balanced acidity.

Cellaring: There will be plenty of time to enjoy this wine.  High natural acidity will keep it fresh and vibrant  for the next three to seven years.

Vinification:  Machine harvest during the cool early hours of the morning is delayed until the acidity in the grapes drops to a palatable level.  By this time the flavours have developed nicely.  Fermentation is cool and slow with clarified juice in stainless steel, and bottling is done as soon as possible.  All to maintain freshness and preserve the delicacy of the fruit.

Variety:  Riesling
District:  Mount Gambier
Alcohol:  11.7%
6 x 750mL
