2022 Estate Riesling
2022 Estate Riesling
This Estate Riesling is made from grapes grown by our good friends Ruth and George Mihaly on the Paradigm Hill Vineyard. Their vineyard in Merricks was planted in 2000 and has since produced some of the best wines on the Peninsula.
A beautiful lime leaf and a citrus sherbet lift is the entrée with Lychee, citrus, spice and hints of Turkish delight to follow. This wine has a lovely soft texture, with the lychee, makrut lime and spice dominating the mid palate and an elegant citrus/mineral edge on the finish.

Other Notes
The 2022 season started with a very wet and variable spring, resulting in poor flowering, small bunches and reduced yields across many sites. However, the exceptional summer and autumn months to follow provided perfect ripening conditions that generated great concentration and striking flavours across all varieties.

Winemaker Notes
• Hand-picked, chilled overnight and gently whole bunch pressed to stainless steel.
• The juice was then racked to Italian concrete fermenters to undertake a natural fermentation.
• Temperatures were carefully monitored throughout fermentation and the ferment stopped with some residual sugar to balance the great natural acidity.
• This wine was then lightly fined and filtered before bottling.
