2019 Skillogalee Riesling

The fruit for this intensely flavoured Riesling was sourced from the highest slopes on the Skillogalee Estate, some 500 metres above sea level. Each contour/block of vines was picked as it reached its optimum ripeness and each parcel fermented separately. 2019 was a later vintage than recent years allowing plenty of time for flavour development.
Brilliant almost water like colour with a greenish tinged outskirts. Jumping out of the glass are intense lemon and lime aromatics with notions of orange rind, talc and minerals ensuing. Mouth filling lemon, lime and orange fruits are both wonderfully concentrated and texturally full yet underpinned by crunchy acidity. Talc and flinty mineral elements make an appearance on the long powerful finish.
Drink over the next 5-6 years.
Alc. 12.5%
