2019 Wilson DJW Polish Hill River Riesling

The DJW vineyard was planted by John and son Daniel Wilson in 1997. At the time, the aim was to produce additional fruit for the successful Wilson Polish Hill River Riesling but the vineyard had other ideas. From the first vintage it was immediately obvious that the DJW vineyard was quite different from the Polish Hill River vineyard. The grapes and bunches were larger and the vineyard produced a spectrum of flavours that had their own unique qualities. As a consequence a new Riesling was born and was named after the single vineyard from where it originates, the DJW.

Brilliant water like core with greenish tinged edges. Uplifted lime juice, green apple and orange rind scents fill the nostrils followed by light talc and mineral notes. The palate carries great power boasting intense lime, citrus and orange rind fruits which sit over a back drop of talc, sherbet and subtle slatey mineral characters. Fresh crunchy acidity leads into a long mouth watering finish of lime, lemon sherbet, orange rind, talc and slate.
Drink over the next 5-6 years.
