The Grapes
The 2022 season was one of wettest, with record rain in October, frost free spring, a welcome change from the 2 previous years of severe drought. Also, a big change from the nil production of 2020 vintage. The vines were still suffering from the lack of nutrients from the drought, and set a small crop, about 25% of normal. Quality did not suffer and produced some wonderfully balanced fruit which was harvested in early March. The wine is a classic example of a quality German style Riesling from the Canberra District.
The Wine
Bright, light green colour, lime and lemon citrus aromas, the palate juicy, soft and fruity. A very smart halbtrocken style of Riesling.
Serve with
Great with spicy Thai, Chinese or Indian flavours where the sweetness of the wine balances out the heat.
Cellar for
The balance of acid and sugar in this wine means it is perfect to drink and enjoy now. If kept for longer than two years the wine will start to develop sweeter lime cordial flavours.
