Old Vine Riesling 2008

This is a wine crafted for the serious Riesling lover. Made from grapes handpicked from a single block of vines planted in 1978, it reflects our passion for growing and making fine Riesling. Without a doubt this wine expresses our vineyard’s sense of place.

Intense aromas of lime and lemon with a hint of tropical fruit leap from the glass. On the palate, pineapple, melon and citrus flavours envelope the tongue. It sings with balance and focus while displaying a depth of character only mature vines can create. Naturally high acidity accentuates its wonderful food pairing possibilities. Those patient enough to cellar this wine will be rewarded.

2008 was an interesting growing season for us. Partly because the summer days were full of sun but not overly hot and partly because we made an educated decision to turn our already sustainable vineyards organic. The vines already seem more in balance and the resulting wine also contains the tension and vitality that comes from something that is truly at one and in tune with its natural surroundings.
