Aromas of finger limes, orange blossom and a hint of musk. Delicate grapefruit, citrus juice linear and mineral acidity.
The Riesling from the estate grown fruit was harvested in the early hours of the morning in late February. The free run juice of each parcel is fermented separately. The resulting wine is a fine tuned blend created from parcels including the original planting of 1971, through to a block of Geisenheim clone, planted in 2003.
Previously known as Black Label Riesling. Bath salts, citrus pith, hints of juniper, shaved fennel and crushed star anise. 2021 was a cool vintage in WA, and has imbued this wine with an extra layer of minerality and spice. The coiled Frankland acidity is verging on tart at this young age. I recommend you put this one away for a year (or 2) before drinking it. Tuck into your '20s, and let this one come together, because it will, and it will be glorious.
