Normally sourced from the Canberra district, the bushfires of 2020 put an end to that. The fruit for this release comes from the Yarra Valley. There are some small plantings of Riesling around the region (a surprise to many), this one comes from De Bortoli's Dixon Creek site.
A beautifully fragrant wine with pretty white flowers and hint of honeyed tones. Limes are rife throughout with fine touches of meringue peaks and cut green apple. A little pithy too with a wonderfully steely drive with chalky feels on close. This is a beauty.
Drink now to embrace the freshness.
