Tasting notes
The 2023 Dry Riesling is mineral and flossy on the nose, with pear drop, lavender, lime flesh, lemon barley, sweet pea florals and green apple skin. In the mouth, the wine is just so pretty. It's austere in its acidic flow and fleshy on the mid-palate, but it has lovely balance and poise. 12.5% alcohol, sealed under screw cap. Some numbers for the nerds (like me): pH is 2.88, total acidity is 8.2, residual sugar is 3.4 grams per liter.

Bannockburn. Grown on the schist soils of Block 2 in the Elms vineyard. RS 3.4 g/l. Vegan. Certified organic and biodynamic. Ripe and peachy with a lovely hint of flintiness. This has a broad creaminess and a bit of a grip, too. The fruit is very pure, with plenty of vibrancy from acidity. Finishes long. (FG)
The 2023 Dry Riesling is a lively, bright number with fragrant fruit and floral flavors. While dry and light in body, it packs substance and richness within its concentrated core, making it firm and focused in its approach. There’s certainly no shortage of assertive, citrus-like acidity on the finish as well as phenolics, lending a fine, powdery texture alongside the lemon and honey tea-like aromas.
