Another beautiful wine after a long line of other wonderful Duke's rieslings. A touch more fruit intensity. Crisp, dry, clean, lime. Cellar for 20 years.
Duke and Hilde Ranson ended their long search for the perfect property to establish their vineyard as their “retirement”. The first vine was planted on Duke’s 60th birthday, on the 5th August, 1999. They decided to plant beautiful Riesling, beloved Cabernet Sauvignon (by Duke) and a spicy Shiraz. They have planted 25 acres of vines on their 160+ acre farm and are running a Suffolk sheep stud on the remaining acreage.
The first vintage in 2001 resulted in a gold medal, the first of many awards including the Best in Show Trophy at the Sydney Royal Wine Show 2006. Since 2013 they have been in Hallidays top 100.
Its power, length and layer upon layer of kaffir lime is wrapped in a pure silver cloak of acidity running through - but never challenging - the fruit. Duke Ranson has every reason to suggest this is one of the best rieslings to come from this jewelled vineyard at the heart of the estate plantings.
