Plantagenet `Angevin` Mount Barker Riesling from Mount Barker, Australia, is a vibrant White (still) dry Riesling. The grapes are selectively machine harvested at night, with free run juice and pressings separated. Fermentation occurs in cool stainless steel using indigenous yeast, followed by racking and light lees stirring before bottling. It opens with intense floral and lime notes, leading to a piercingly focused palate of vibrant citrus fruit and wet stone, underpinned by abundant natural acidity, culminating in a well-structured, elegant wine with a long, clean finish. It pairs wonderfully with poultry, lean fish, and spicy dishes. This wine is suitable for vegetarians.
75.0CL , 12.0% ABV
Vinification
The grapes went through selective machine harvesting in the cool of the night before arriving at the winery. The free run juice and pressings were separated and lightly fined before clarification (traditional cold settle). Fermentation took place in cool (<15 degrees) stainless steel using an indigenous yeast strain to highlight the natural fruit characteristics. Post-fermentation, the wine was racked and light lees were retained with regular stirring. The wine was blended and underwent a light fining before bottling.
Flavour profile
This dry white Riesling offers an intense aromatic profile of floral and lime notes. The palate is piercingly focused with a vibrant core of citrus fruit and wet stone, balanced by abundant natural acidity, leading to an elegant, clean finish.
Serving recommendation
Serve chilled at 10-12°C. No decanting required for this vibrant white wine.
