Pale colour, the aromas fresh and leaping from the glass with honey and sweet citrus blossom aromas, a glorious nose! The palate is delicate and refined, subtle, just faintly off-dry, with a touch of richness in the middle. Clean and long finish: lovely wine.

Alea Vineyard, a distinct site for Grosset set on red loam over hard-red rock, was planted in 2000. Certified organic and biodynamic. Produced in an off-dry style. A moreish riesling with pitch-perfect sweetness and acidity, mouth-watering and fresh in its feel. Scents of green apple, kaffir lime leaf and lemon lozenges. Flavours combine with the crunch and sweetness of green apple with a good squeeze of tangy lime juice. Gentle fruit sweetness is abetted by cool, briny, lemony acidity and general air of freshness. Ultra appealing and yet with a sense of detail and minerally complexity. An outstanding release which should develop with interest with cellar time.

OFF-DRY
This is the tenth release of this distinctly different expression of the variety, inspired by traditional European winemaking.
Delicate floral perfumes, lemon blossom, juicy lemon pith, a pure expression of the variety that balances intense limey notes with plush lemony flavours and impeccable layering. With the vineyard now fully mature this vintage completes the refinement of the ‘Alea’ style: a very engaging and beautiful wine.
