Robert Stein Half Dry Riesling 2023 12pack 11% 750ml

TASTING NOTES
PALATE
Showing great lemon/lime citrus characters, with a nice bouquet of fruit which is balanced out nicely by the crisp, clean acidity.

VINIFICATION
This Single Vineyard Half Dry Riesling was harvested in the early morning from the Angullong Vineyard at Millthorpe near Orange NSW. Fermentation was cool & slow, with the ferment being stopped at 15 grams residual sugar. The wine was left in tank on lees for a further 4 months, stirring occasionally for further palate texture.

VINTAGE NOTES

The growing season started with excellent winter rains allowing us to concentrate on building soil and vine health. The rain continued throughout Spring during the growing season so we had to be very vigilant in the vineyards to produce excellent fruit. Summer rainfall and storms led to a tricky harvest, however the vineyard elevation and slope allowed the heavy rain events to drain out of the vineyard. It was a long harvest period, with just enough sun and warmth to ripen all varieties nicely and we have great concen tration and balance in all of our wines this year.
