Damsteep Riesling 2017

White gold hue. Aromas of lemon zest, lime, white blossom and wild honey. The palate is dense with salivating white rock minerals. Dry and invigorating. Drink now to 2025.

85% foot crushed to give 40% whole berries. 4-18 hour skin soak. Whole bunch pressed and fermented without settling. Yeast used for fermentation were propagated from a vineyard starter. Wine was finished in stainless steel tanks and 15% in neutral 500L barrels to give complexity. The wine matured on lees through Winter and bottled in Spring.
