2023 Estate Riesling

The Story: Riesling is finally experiencing a well deserved resurgence in popularity among wine lovers. The plethora of styles  available, combined with its availability to be paired with a variety of foods should make Riesling a go to wine. At Lethbridge we have been working with this Noble variety for nearly two decades and in this time experimented with many styles, from dry to sweek, sparkling to amber. This Riesling follows one of our well travelled roads. 

The Wine: Sourced from cool climate vineyards near Mount Gambier. Noted for its limestone soils and cooling coastal breezes. Partially whole bunch pressed and wild fermented in stainless steel, the ferment is kept cool to retain delicate aromatics. Ages on lees to increase complexity before bottling. This Riesling has complex aromas of citrus and sherbet interlaced with musk stick and floral notes. These play wonderfully with a crystalline acidity and long fresh finish.
