Pepper Tree Stone Mountain Single Vineyard Riesling 2024, Orange, AUD $55
The grapes were picked at night, the juice gently pressed off skins and cold-settled for 24 hours before a slow, cool ferment to keep it bright and fresh.
Bright lemon and lime tones in the glass. Papaya, agave and oyster shell aromas. Palate has a medium weight to it, filling the senses with tropical fruit nuances, hints of lime zest and chalky minerality. Wonderfully textural and gliding the acidity works to guide it. The flavour lingers for an age, finishing eventually with a hint of drying grip to balance it. (Screwcap)
