Production Details After experiencing three of the driest winters back to back followed by a cool dry 2020 summer, the vineyards responded with smaller, more concentrated berries. With careful canopy management, a natural fresh acidity was kept in the grapes. The Riesling was harvested on the 26th of March. The juice was left on the skins for 6 hours before a gentle pressing to extract as much of the flavour compounds without losing any of the freshness. The wine was left on the lees for 4 months before racking it off the lees and a light filtration before bottling.
