Scalzi Estate Barossa Riesling 2021

Orange blossom and rose petals are at the fore with hints of lime zest and pear flesh. A moreish palate with flavours of pithy grapefruit, early season pineapple and granny smith apples. The finish on the wine is fleshy and zesty with a mouthwatering Chalkiness.

The grapes were harvested in the cool of the night to help retain the lovely aromatics that Riesling is famous for. The grapes were then crushed to a skin contact vessel for 45 minutes to increase flavour. The free run juice is then drained from the skins, with some light pressings, to a tank for wild fermentation. Post-fermentation a small addition of sulphur is made to the wine for the first time, it is then stabilised and filtered ready for bottling.
