2011 Sevenhill Inigo Riesling

Sevenhill’s vineyards are planted on gently undulating slopes that rise abruptly from the surrounding countryside to 500m above sea level. During ripening, the middle of the day can be very warm, but in the evenings the temperature falls dramatically and the environment remains cool until mid-morning of the following day. Riesling loves these conditions. It will grow and ripen in the warm part of the day, then, when the temperature begins to fall, water loss slows and the vine replenishes itself for the next day.

Brilliant, very pale straw colour with watery hue. Dominated by lemon and lime notes the nose displays excellent intensity and is followed by some orange rind and talc. The palate is filled with zesty lime and citrus flavours followed by some orange rind with a clean crisp minerally finish. Long aftertaste of lime, citrus and mineral. Drink now or cellar 5-6 years (2011-2017)
