"Aromas of pure green apples, lemon, and lime leaf with delicate white florals and oyster shell. On the palate, a mixture of orange and yellow citrus balanced with crisp fresh acidity, natural mid- palate sweetness, and a river stone minerality that is synonymous with our vineyards. High solids from ferment give the palate weight, counterbalanced by natural spritz providing lift – while crunchy stone fruit and lime zest provide a cleansing drive on the finish.
Our organically grown grapes are hand harvested then whole bunch pressed gently over several hours. The wine is fermented with high solids and only the very heavy less are left behind at racking.
Fermentation is allowed to proceed at a moderate temperature and stopped when the sugar, acid, alcohol and phenolics are in balance. We hold the wine at a cool temperature for the remainder of its time in the cellar to retain the natural CO2 spritz from primary ferment. This Riesling is racked post ferment and spends 6 months on fine lees before being gently filtered for bottling."

"The 2023 Dry Riesling has lemon pastry and fresh pressed linen, and that must be a Bone Line character because I saw linen notes in their Hellblock Riesling from the same vintage. This also has sweet tobacco, sage and green apple skins. The acidity penetrates the palate early, which is a hell of a wake-up call to the senses, and proceeds with a stately outlay of flavour and character. It's a little leesy and wide in the mouth—a wild ferment? This is a powerful and yet slight wine, and I like it so much."
Rated Excellent & 93/100 Cameron Douglas MS, March 2025 (2023 Vintage)
"Aromas and flavours of lime and white chalk, fresh green apple and white flowers. Dry with a backbone of acidity this wine will age well as offering a great aperitif or to pair with high acid dishes (salads with vinaigrette). As the wine opens out in glass the flavours of flowers and white fleshed fruits begin to emerge, there’s hint of pineapple and apricot stone then apple and citrus return. Best drinking from 2027 through 2037+."
