Riesling 2006 - SOLD OUT
Off a single vineyard, with a two cane canopy and restricted yields, these grapes were hand-picked and whole bunch pressed to retain integrity. The wine was stop fermented at 11 percent alcohol, leaving residual sweetness that is finely balanced with the bright acidity.
"The Highfield Riesling 2006 has fresh, strong lemon/lime flavours with impressive delicacy and purity. Vivacious and slightly minerally, with a hint of passionfruit and abundant sweetness (36 grams/litre of residual sugar), giving great drink-young appeal". Michael Cooper, Winestate Magazine July/August 2007
