Freycinet Vineyard Riesling

Tasmania is an extraordinary place for Riesling with its potential to produce some of the nation’s finest. Freycinet Rieslings have a fine pedigree stretching back 25 years to 1998 when the first 100% varietal riesling was produced, gaining high praise and considerable recognition along the way.

Vines are all hand pruned and hand harvested. In the winery a very careful, protective approach is utilised to ensure the delicate yet intense aromas and flavours are retained. 

Given the extra warmth throughout the season all varieties ripened beautifully and up to three weeks earlier than normal. Fruit quality was exceptional with concentrated flavours and ripe, juicy acidity.

The vibrant yet elegant palate offers a hedonistic melange of juicy limes, green apples, grapefruit and white nectarine complemented with gentle spice and a refreshingly crisp mineral finish. The ripe, juicy natural acid reflects the ideal east coast vintage conditions and is balanced with 1.95 g/L of residual sugar, delivering scintillating tension.
Carefully cellared this wine will provide drinking pleasure over a 25 year period, developing attractively complex aged characters reminiscent of honey and toast.
