"Crisp, punchy organic Riesling with lime, apricot and wildflower flavours balanced by a core of fruity acidity which adds some welcome tension to the wine. Delicious now but with the potential to develop toasty bottle age characters" Bob Campbell, Master of Wine, Real Review, Dec 2022
"Very fragrant with aromas of mandarin and limeflower, fresh apple flesh and citrus. Floral too with scents of blossoms and a touch of rose. Taut and dry as the wine touches the palate, flavours of citrus and fresh green apple, there’s a mineral wet stone quality hightlighted by acidity and taut youthful mouthfeel. Delicious and fresh, an aperitif style (for me) with best drinking from 2024 through 2030+" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier, Dec 2022
The Carrick Dry Riesling has notes of green apple and the unique scent of Riesling with age - kerosene. The palate envelops these notes, alongside a lean, almost smokey core, with lime and lemon pith. It's long and refreshing with a peppy acid line.
The Carrick Dry Riesling, is the last Riesling to be picked and spends the longest time maturing in the cellar before bottling. It is fermented with indigenous yeast in old barrels, with the idea of building texture and weight into its lean frame. An austere style that provides vibrancy and transparency of time and place.
Hand-picked, whole-bunch pressed and fermented entirely in old oak barriques. Matured in barrel for 6 months, before bottling.
