The Ackland Vineyard Riesling from Knappstein comes from the Watervale dress circle. Standing on the hill overlooking Springvale Road you'd need all your fingers and toes to count off the quality vineyards the eye can see.
Perched 450-500 metres above, the Ackland vineyard was planted in 1969.
A delightful wine, think lilly flowers, bath powder, green apples, lime sorbet and lime leaf. There is a shimmer of Bickford's lime cordial that sits in the background doing enough to absorb some attention. A fine chalky textural appeal pins itself to the palate and lingers wonderfully.
Embrace the freshness and drink now but it will age if that is your thing.
Drink to eight years+
