Personalised Tar & Roses Lewis Riesling 2023 13% 750ml

Personalised Tar & Roses Lewis Riesling 2023 13% 750ml

The heart of this blend comes from two blocks. The first is the Lewis Riesling Block off the Mitchelton vineyard. After years of sampling the Riesling blocks at Mitchelton, Don tagged individual vines that he felt had a special character. After sufficient vines were tagged he had cuttings taken and sent to the nursery for propagation. The resulting block now called the Lewis Block is a culmination of this attention to detail.

The second parcel is from the 69 Block Pewsey Vale clone across the road from Mitchelton. These older vines produce intense classic Riesling characters that complement the Lewis Block vines.

The wine has a lifted complex bouquet of lemon sherbet, musk sticks, orange blossoms and oyster shell with a hint of lemongrass spice character. A fresh zesty palate of lemon pith, fruit sweetness and good acid drive with a touch of phenolics and a long linear finish.

TASTE PROFILE

Light bodied white wines have a water-light mouthfeel. Often very pale to light colour.

Dry wines have no trace of sweetness at all.
