Wakefield Riesling

Notes - The 2002 vintage followed one of the coolest summers on record. This allowed a very long ripening period, giving intensity of flavour. The fruit was picked three weeks later than normal and was crushed and chilled immediately, thus retaining Rieslings natural fruit flavours. This, the third vintage under Stelcap, cements Wakefield’s commitment to the closure - it captures the freshness of Riesling, one of the more delicate, aromatic varieties. Brilliant bright yellow with tinges of emerald green. The wine exhibits a lovely citrus, tropical fruit nose, with intermingled floral characters. An intensely flavoured Riesling, showing limes, lemon and abundant tropical fruits of pineapple, banana and grapefruit. The wine is crisp and refreshingly clean, and finishes with a vibrant, steely, green apple spine. A great accompaniment to most Asian dishes and seafood. Vintaged to be immediately enjoyable but will continue to evolve for 5-10 years.
