Riesling is a relatively new variety to the Pettavel Vineyard, but it has produced premium quality grapes and gold medals from the first vintage. The grapes ripen very late in the season, but the effects of the cool nights ensure that crisp natural acid levels are retained while vibrant floral aromas and flavours develop. Under vine mulching, hard winter pruning and attentive viticulture achieve the desired result. Strong growing, evenly spaced, vertical positioned shoots form a dense leaf canopy, shading the grapes from the summer sun, capturing intensely perfumed aromatics. The ripening seasons achieve good flavour development and acid retention, ensuring a balance of ripe fruit flavours and crisp acid. Alcohol 12.5%
  Light straw colour. Intensely aromatic, with an element of richness on the palate. Vibrant youthful fruit flavours including apple, pear, lime and melon with an intensity that will ensure further complexity. Night harvest and cool fermentation has retained the lifted elegant, floral aromas and crisp citrus, apple and pear flavours, which linger with a mineral acid texture. While crisp, vibrant and floral, the palate captures a richness of ripe grapes, producing a wine that will reward immediate consumption or provide those who can wait with wonderful, mature Riesling characters.
