Delatite Late Harvest Estate Riesling

Note this is an older vintage and the product may not not available any longer. Check the retailers website for more details.

The growing season of 2012 was a great relief coming off the back of the tricky but great for Riesling 2011 season with good early rains and relatively dry conditions through ripening The fruit for this wine was left on the vine for an additional week and a half compared to our lsquo traditionl rsquo Riesling during which time it developed some noble rot before being hand-picked The fruit was placed in the press and left for six hours to allow the juice to soak up the additional sugar from the raisined berries It was then pressed off and settled The juice underwent a wild fermentation in stainless steel before receiving a light filtration followed by bottling This sweeter style of Riesling shows aromas of apricots and blossom with the palate showing lime flavours and a slight marmalade character from the noble rot The wine is sweet but finishes off lovely and dry with a firm acid backbone and a little spritz
