2022 Nick O’Leary White Rocks Riesling, Canberra District

The trio of Nick O’Leary rieslings are made identically and with the two single vineyard wines in particular, the sites speak. This is from a dry-grown, 52-year-old vineyard and the result is quite breathtaking and ethereal. It has power and definition but everything is seamless: the citrus flavours, mandarin and lemon with pops of finger lime, the talc-like acidity and the refinement. All on show. A joyous drink as much as a classy one.

The lively palate shows lime, lemon and spice with hints of crushed apple. Mouth watering laser like acidity will ensure this wine will live for many years.

A single vineyard wine sourced from the Westering vineyard opposite Lake George. The grapes were hand harvested at 11.3 Baume and whole bunch pressed. Juice was cool fermented in stainless steel and the wine held on light lees until bottling in June 2022.
