Highfield Wines
Tasting Note: Riesling 2009 - SOLD OUT
With restricted yields these grapes were hand-picked, resulting in a finely textured wine of exceptional quality. Made in an expressive fruit driven style and stop fermented, the medium residual sweetness is finely balanced with the lifted lime acidity.
Sensory Notes:
Colour: Light straw.
Aroma: Elderflower, honey and orange peel characters leap from the glass together with pure fruit aromas of apricot, lime, quince and some mineral notes.
Palate: Luscious and fresh with layers of lime, apple and apricot. A salubrious and salivating experience with lingering marmalade flavours and superb balance of sweetness and acidity.
