Riesling is purity and heartbreak in a glass. There is no truer expression of soil, aspect and climate but at the same time this late ripening prima donna is not forgiving of lesser sites or management. The Porongurup Range is one of the sub-regions of the Great Southern region in WA and home to many mature dry grown Riesling vineyards. Typically the Riesling is later ripening and a little finer with higher acidity from the Porongurups; there is a rain shadow on the north facing slopes that allows for the later ripening on these more elevated sites (High and Dry).
Bright, light-yellow colour. Cool-grown honey, mint, lemon and verbena aromas, some tealeaf; the palate is off-dry. A delicious wine, the phenolics cast a shadow of bitterness which is balanced by the sweetness. A very good wine in the final analysis.
