Montinore Estate’s Riesling blocks are planted on a south-facing slope overlooking Graham Lake on the property. Fruit from these 40-year-old, own-rooted Geisenheim 68 clone vines is handpicked and whole cluster pressed before a cool fermentation in stainless steel barrels. Once bottled, the wine is held back for up to two years before release.
The long, sun-drenched days and perfectly cool and crisp nights during the end of the 2018 ripening season delivered a textural yet wonderfully bright, dry Riesling. It leads with aromas of lime, sweet summer florals and chalky freshness before a clean and pure palate that’s just brimming with mouth-watering, zesty flavours, nervy acidity and a talc-like texture. Youthful, with plenty of pep and drive, this has years to go if desired but is in a delicious spot right now.
