2011 Single Vineyard, Slate Creek Riesling

Vineyard
The Slate Creek vineyard is located in the Clare Valley.. The vines were planted in the 1970s in a north-east south-west orientation on deep red clay loam over limestone soils with pockets of slate, 350 metres above sea level.

Winemaking
The grapes were selectively harvested throughout the vineyard in the cool of night by machine. They were then crushed, destemmed and chilled prior to a gentle pressing. The free run juice was cool-fermented and the wine was racked and stabilised prior to a light filtration and bottling.

Tasting notes
In the glass the wine is reminiscent of pale straw with tinges of green; a gentle swirl reveals aromas of lime, lemon and blossom on the nose. The palate will reward those with a penchant for an elegant and refined Riesling; on the palate lime juice and lemon zest are complemented by mineral and slate characters. As is expected of this style, the finish is crisp and fresh with great length of flavour. No added acid was required due to the 2011 cool vintage conditions.
