Mud House Single Vineyard 'The Mound' Riesling 2019
Description
- Medium-dry style
- Fresh lime
- Beeswax
- Mineral acidity
Pale lime in the glass. A beautifully aromatic Riesling with light floral and fresh lime, wet stone and beeswax notes. A delightfully vibrant and balanced Riesling that elegantly expresses the interplay between acidity and natural sugar. Juicy lime and lemon refresh the palate, complemented by mineral acidity and delicate sweetness. This wine has complexity, body and length.
This Single Vineyard Riesling is sourced from our Mound Vineyard in the Waipara Valley. This vineyard was established in 2002 on terraced gravels that offer little fertility which, along with Waipara’s long growing season, provide perfect conditions for making world class Riesling.
Favourable weather conditions over flowering ensured a healthy yield set. The growing season that followed by warm and settled. The good weather remained until mid-April, ensuring the fruit was picked in excellent condition, full of intense flavours and free of significant disease.
The grapes were picked at optimal ripeness and whole bunch pressed. The free run juice was cold settled and racked a few days later. A long and slow fermentation ensued to maintain freshness and preserve primary Riesling notes. The ferment was stopped when acidity and residual sugar were in optimal balance, before being cold settled and racked. The wine was then fined, filtered and bottled on 30 October 2019.
Food Pairing: Spicy chicken and chorizo paella.
