2024 'Olga Emmie' Riesling

After an average winter rainfall, our soil profile was full, giving the vines a great start to the growing season. Following early bud burst, a bad frost event hit some parts of the valley in late October. Spring was dry, but thunderstorms in November and December helped setup our vine canopies. A warm, dry harvest with low disease pressure allowed grape intake to run extremely smoothly. Riesling yields were slightly above average.

A burst of tinned lychee, green apple and lime juice joined with musk lollies, with some lime zest helping cut through the richness. Tingly and energetic on the palate from a tight acid line that keeps the generous fruit well balanced and very moreish.

Very inviting and excites the senses with lemon, lime sherberty notes popping and a spectrum of apples, from tart Granny Smith’s through to sweet Pink Lady’s, with some jasmine floral notes adding layers.
