BESTFFRSL21
A wine style that started a minor revolution in Australia when it was first made, with extended skin contact, wild fermentation and maturation on lees in a foudre. Each vintage it tingles and impresses and in a good year like 2021, it excels. Jasmine florals, bergamot, lime cordial, lemon curd and peach-skin aromas. A wine of some complexity and nuance, featuring bright, vibrant fruits, soft mealy texture with a hint of savouriness. Seamless and sustained.

Vibrant lemon-fresh zesty aromas, bright and youthful, with creamy yeast lees overtones, cashew nut and spice notes from the barrel ferment, the palate soft and rich, with delicacy and refinement appropriate to a young riesling but also with texture and fleshiness. A lovely wine. 02 JAN 2022 Drink 2022–2033

Made from juice with extended skin contact and wild fermented in a large oak foudre, more or less exactly how a winemaker in the Rheingau would make a kabinett riesling. It pulsates with a sinuous dance between the juicy lime fruits and delicate but intense acidity.
