Hartenberg Estate Auction Weisser Riesling 2007
This wine was selected from a small parcel of one of our two Riesling vineyards and is of a specific clone, WR239. At picking, about 30% of the grapes were ‘ennobled’ by botrytis. An Alsatian selected yeast was used to carry out the alcoholic fermentation in 3rd fill French barriques. The wine spent 11 months in barrel. Tasting note: Lime green/yellow in colour. On the bouquet, beautifully perfumed with a melange of aromas; apricot, litchis and honeyed notes infused with lemon/tangerine. The palate entry is decadently creamy with evident glycerol adding weight and texture. The wine has a beautiful acid/sugar balance, with the acidity crisp and clean. All ends in a silky lingering finish. Packaging: Bottle Size: 750ml Case Size: 6 x 750ml Qty Cases Produced: 130 Qty Cases on Offer:: 110
