Wine Production

Same in the vineyard, this wine was hand crafted using traditional methods and bottled early to ensure all the integrity and vitality of the wine was preserved. All this really means is that we feel a drier and more textural wine style is both possible and appropriate. 

Tasting Notes

Pale lemon- green color. Aromas of tart apple, nectarine, citrus and white flowers. Lots of texture and concentration on the pallet with flavors of peach and lime balanced with a steely finish to offer perfect structure.

Food Pairing

Salads, Seafood and Pork.

POINTS
“Ripe, taut and youthful, with a pure fruit core of rose and citrus, fruit sweetness, green apple and sorbet. A complex wine that is both floral and fruity, with soil, smoke, mineral, honeysuckle and limeflower qualities. Dry and crisp as the wine touches the palate; the acidity has vibrato, an electricity about it, a lovely mouthfeel, almost mealy with contrasting flavours of green apple and lemon. An excellent wine with complexity, length and detail.”

POINTS
“Taut and precise, mouthwatering and dry. Lime shot through with light peach and a dab of salt. From the same Red Bank Farm vineyard as the Picnic Riesling, but aged a little longer on the lees. Could take on spicy seafood or raw oysters. Will age well.”

POINTS
“The 2023 Dry Riesling is talc-y fresh on the nose, with lime blossom, dried thyme, citrus pith and bath salts. In the mouth, the wine is lyrical and structured, with shaved fennel, Granny Smith apple skin and white pepper through the finish. An elegant wine, it matured partly in neutral wood and has seven grams per liter of residual sugar. Grapes were sourced from the Red Bank Vineyard in Alexandra.”

About the Vineyard

Small production and organically farmed and produced. The soils in this block are well draining schist loam and the vines tend to thrive. Additionally the typically extreme summer diurnal temperatures experienced in Alexandra are responsible for both metabolizing (softening) acidity during the day and then bright freshness is retained from the significantly cooler nights.
