Winery notes (2024 Vintage)
"A long, cool autumn and modest yields made for the perfect conditions to create mouthwatering flavours in this classic Mount Riley wine.
We harvested the fruit during the night in cool temperatures so that the natural flavours and aromatics were preserved. The grapes were gently pressed, and the juice settled prior to fermentation. The wine was fermented in stainless steel tanks at cool temperatures to retain the bright, varietal aromatics and a small portion in old French oak for added weight and texture
Bright florals with apple and pear notes underscored with a fresh herbal seam with compliments of spice. The wine is just off-dry with ripe fruit flavours, rich texture and fresh acidity. Drinking well now; this wine can be enjoyed until late 2028. Great with white meat, veal, Asian food, and cheeses."
91/100 Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, July 2024 (2024 Vintage)
"It's elegantly fragrant on the nose, showing white flesh nectarine, green pear, green tea and lemon pith nuances, followed by a delightfully refreshing palate offering bright fruit flavours with fleshy texture, finishing long and tasty. At its best: now to 2027."
