• Dry style
• French oak
• Citrus peel & stonefruit
• Balanced acidity

The 2015 Hommage has, a crisp clean nose with aromas of lime and lemon peel from the Riesling with perfumed notes of orange blossom and stone fruits from the Muscat. This wine has honey and white fleshed peach, on the palate and a great acidity which is balanced by the natural sweetness of the fruit.

The hommage vineyard is on the steepest slopes of the Mountford vineyard and is planted with the 4 noble varieties of Alsace; Riesling, Pinot gris, gewürztraminer and muscat. These 4 varietals are planted in equal numbers but they yield very different quantities of fruit. This variation gives a different blend from year to year.

This boutique winery has become internationally renowned for its elegant wines which display fantatic quality and interest. Mountford Estate's stunning 10 hectare vineyard is situated on the Eastern hillside of the Waipara Valley, highly regarded for its limestone rich soil. Whilst in the winery Winemakers place strong emphasis on attention to detail and employ traditional Burgundian methods, to produce wines of distinction.

The entire Hommage vineyard block is harvested together some skin contact I applied and the fruit is pressed together and then the juice was fermented in old French oak over a long period at a low temperature. The result is a wine that reflects the terroir of Mountford estate and the attributes of these 4 noble Alsatian varieties.
