Chasing Harvest Central Otago Riesling

Sourced from a single vineyard located in the heart of the Bannockburn sub-region of Central Otago. Hand harvested and ripe clusters were sorted in the winery, de-stemmed and crushed the fruit was left to macerate on the skins overnight. Gently pressed the next day and after cold-settling, the wine was racked to very old neutral french oak barrels. Fermented long and cool, the wine was left with a very minimal amount of residual sugar to balance with the acidity. The wine remained on it’s lees over the course of the winter before being bottled in the spring.
