This Riesling was made from fruit selected from numerous older vineyards in the Mudgee Region, 40 and 47 year old vines, and all above 580m in elevation. The fruit was handpicked and whole bunch pressed, then fermented cool in a stainless steel tank.
Typically Robert Stein in style with aromas of lime juice and citrus, this classic Riesling has crisp and racy finish with a slight touch of sweetness to balance the natural acidity. Drink it with shellfish and seafood, oysters, prawns with fresh lemon, whiting fillets. A brilliant aperitif wine.
A slip of fruit sweetness but it remains rapier-like and long. This is a scintillating riesling if ever there was one. In fact I think it just shades the “dry” riesling, though both are gold medal standard for me. This draws you in with its fruit and then shoots straight for the stars.

From J Block on the '76 vineyard, hand-picked, whole-bunch pressed, free-run, fermented in stainless steel, the pressings wild-fermented in 4yo French puncheons, blended and kept on lees with 15g/l of residual sugar. Delicate and elegant, residual sugar and acidity in lockstep.
