Wines by Josef Chromy

Josef Chromy Botrytis Riesling 2009 375ml

Josef Chromy was a Tasmanian meats entrepreneur with a taste for cool climate sparklings. He successfully developed Heemskerk and Jansz and established the Tamar Ridge label. Divesting himself of the portfolio, he settled down to the most opportune winegrowing site he could find. Weather conditions permitting, his devotedly husbanded Riesling vines sprout grapes which are affected by Noble Rot botrytis Cinerea, drying the fruit as it hangs and concentrates the natural sugars, developing the most splendid, divine and ambrosial perfumes and flavours.

Botrytis affected Riesling sourced from the estate vineyard at Relbia in northern Tasmania. The Botrytis infection is carefully monitored and the grapes are picked when the balance between delicate floral and citrus characters and the richer marmalade flavours of Botrytis is optimum. Fruit reception begins with a vibrating hopper that gently shakes the grapes into the destemmer, which has a smooth plastic cage in order not to break any berries. Grapes are gently pressed and the juices fermented in tank at low temperatures to retain varietal character. Fermentation is stopped at a low alcohol level to achieve a fully integrated wine that retains fresh Riesling character. Alcohol 9.8%

Deep golden yellow. Delicate floral and citrus with the rich orange peel characters of Botrytis. A long crisp palate of sweet honey, preserved lemon and ripe citrus flavours. Varietal Riesling characters are still apparent and meld with Botrytis flavours to create a crisp style of dessert wine with a lingering taste and refreshing finish. Josef Chromy will develop rich palate weight and more honeyed characters. Due to it's crisp freshness matches with both light and rich deserts from citrus/ stonefruit sorbets through to a richly layered ganache chocolate gateaux.
