2023 Stargazer Single Vineyard Riesling 750Ml Bottle

This wine teeters on the brink between ‘dry’ and ‘off dry’, but simply put it’s just superbly balanced in terms of acid and fruit/RS. All the grapes are sourced from a single vineyard in the Tea Tree subregion of Coal River, planted in 2004 at a vineyard density 5000 vines per hectare. Soil type as  described by Samantha is predominantly dark clay on Jurassic dolerite. Hand harvested in two picks a fortnight apart, both picks were de-stemmed and left in contact with skins for 8 hours prior to gentle pressing. 100% wild fermented by indigenous yeasts in stainless stell for 6 weeks. After arresting ferments the juice was left on lees for a further 6 weeks before blending and bottling with 8.6 grams of residual sugar. 

Stargazer Single Vineyard Riesling 2023 vintage is a Quartz-green in colour. Crammed with vibrant green apple and yuzu notes on the nose, with lifted jasmine and crystallised ginger aromatics. The palate’s bright acidity and river-stone flavours are balanced with a gentle fruit sweetness and a bright, glossy finish.
