MD Riesling 2023

Settled weather during Spring resulted in successful flowering and a healthy fruit set, meaning crop thinning was needed in some areas. Good heat concentration in early to mid-Summer then allowed the grapes to ripen beautifully. The remainder of Summer and Autumn threw up a mix of hot days interspersed with cooler spells, although rain was sufficiently spread out to ensure the bunches remained healthy and disease free.

Pale gold in colour, the nose erupts with vibrant aromas of orange zest, citrus blossom, and pink grapefruit, speckled with dashes of lime sherbet, frangipani, and fond childhood memories of pineapple Fruju on a summer?s day. In the mouth there is a pleasing tension, a rich honeyed palate framed with charming sweetness and a lick of bracing acidity, adding structure and length to the long and elegant close.
