Released as the from a single block on the famed Mort’s Block vineyard. Planted in 1970, it’s red loamy topsoil over the much deeper limestone base and east – west orientated rows are the perfect ingredients from which to craft this wine.
Very pale straw with youthful green tints; brilliant in clarity and almost translucent in appearance. Fresh limes, hints of sweet melon, lemon curd and a restrained floral elegance overwhelm the nose.
Made in a true Reserve style, the flavours of freshly cut limes, lemon meringue, grapefruit rind and a tightly wound core of piercing natural acidity deliver above all expectations. A fine, long and persistent palate that is built to age.
Selected from the best part of the original Mort's Block. Riesling on a power run, extraordinarily intense, akin to lime juice wrestling with a python. I'll back the wine.
