D'Arenberg The Dry Dam Riesling 2023

Winemaking: Small batches of grapes are gently crushed, chilled, and then basket pressed. The fermentation was long and cool, and was stopped before reaching total dryness to ensure that residual sugar remains to balance the high mineral acidity.

Tasting Notes: A very consistent and elegant Riesling. Greeny straw and slightly yellow colour. Fresh and mineral aromas of green pear, lemon balm and fresh lime. The palate comes with a citrusy core of lemon curd and lime with a complementing outer layer of tropical flavours like pineapple, green apple, pear and kiwifruit. Extraordinary acidity, lifted but not sharp and in perfect harmony with the slightly sweet mouthfeel. Absolutely lovely now but can also age and evolve gracefully with some years in bottle.

ABV: 10.5% / RS: 14 g/l / Variety: Riesling / Origin: McLaren Vale, South Australia
