2021 Colour Series Riesling

Hand-picked in the cool of the morning in late March, the harvested grapes were gently whole bunch pressed. Free run and pressings juice were kept separate initially but then blended back together after fining and clarification.
An aromatic strain of yeast was selected for its ability to express varietal Riesling characters, with the temperature kept low to help retain extra flavour.
The fermentation took approximately 17 days to reach optimal dryness, and the wine was left unsulphured on lees for a few weeks after this to build texture and body on the palate.

Classic paired with fresh and cooked seafood, sushi and a range of Asian foods.  The citrus flavours in this Riesling also act as a partciularly good to cleansing contrast to richer seafoods such as mackerel and smoked fish while the dry but bright style cuts through milder seafood, chicken and vegetable curries too. Dry, light - medium bodied Rieslings like our 2021 vintage are also a good match with cheeses like Goats cheese and Feta.
