2006 Head Over Heels Forgotten Riesling
A lifetime of dedication to our passion for winemaking and viticulture and it finally dawned on us that we really love what we make.
Harvested late in the season - (forgotten actually!), this medium sweet Riesling displays youthful hues of straw and grass with fresh and spicy aromas of lime leaf, apples and lemon grass. The palate has a medium sweetness with a tangy roundness filled by sweet citrus fruit and ripe melon.
VINTAGE 2006
VARIETY Riesling 100%
REGION Clare Valley
WINEMAKER James Ceccato
VINTAGE A very mild February has resulted in wonderful flavour development with high retained acids. Riesling juice has fantastic fragrances of lemons through to grapefruit. 2006 promises to be the latest in a succession of excellent years. Climatic conditions have been typical of a Clare Summer - generally warm to hot and dry days with cool nights. This is critical for slow even ripening and especially important for natural acid retention in the grape juice which in turn is important for the development of aroma and flavour profiles along with ageing potential.
FOOD MATCH Perfect with spicy asian foods or simply anytime!
CELLARING This wine has been made to drink now but will cellar for 2 years.
