At Lethbridge we have been working with this Noble variety for nearly two decades and in this time experimented with many styles, from dry to sweek, sparkling to amber. This Riesling follows one of our well travelled roads.
"..Very complex with aromas of quince, dried honey and grilled cashew and a little crème brûlée. Very fresh on the medium-bodied, chalky textured and long, satisfying palate. Feels both complete and ready." Halliday

This is another spectacular wine originating from the Doeven’s Henty vineyard. The fruit is hand picked, whole bunch pressed into new French oak for fermentation, then aged in 50% new oak for 11 months, during which time the wine undergoes a full malolactic fermentation. The cool climate and schist soil on limestone creates a wine of high acidity, freshness and minerality. 200 bottles remaining
