Simon Gilbert Riesling
Ref: a2902
Price:
£4.99
This wine has attractive fragrant floral notes so typical of the Riesling grape variety grown in a cool climate. The palate has distinctive lime citrus flavours with a backdrop of fruit salad complexity. At the upper end of the dry wine category the slight residual sugar (7.1 g/L) gives the wines a richness of flavour and is balanced with a crisp acidity.
The season was basically mild and dry after a bout of rain and hail storms late January. Fortunately none of our vineyards were affected either in Orange or Mudgee. The fruit ripened well and the Riesling was picked mid April in very good condition.
Following crushing and must chilling to 10 C, the juice was clarified with enzymes for 4 days and then inoculated with yeast and fermented at 14 C for three weeks using RHST, a yeast strain selected in Germany. On the completion of fermentation the wine was clarified, stabilised and bottled to retain the fresh fruit characters of the Riesling fruit.
