|
New vintage from Granite Hills. This is the 34th consecutive vintage from Granite Hills who are widely recognised as one of Australia’s finest cool climate Rieslings. The recently released 2009 vintage is once again a superb example delivering a structured, flavoursome and fresh cool-climate Riesling. "94 Points. Light green-straw; the power of 40-year-old vines, and the cold and windswept site, invest the wine with intensity and purity, although it often needs some years in bottle to express its quality; the palate has a rare depth and richness of flavour, and its natural acidity will sustain it for a decade or more. Screwcap. 12.5% alc. Rating 94 Drink 2020 $22 Date Tasted Mar 10" - James Halliday, Australian Wine Companion 2011 Edition. "The stony granite soils, high altitude and cool night temperatures impress the fruit of these nearly 40 year-old Riesling vines with a special refinement and persistence of flavour. These qualities are nurtured through hand harvesting and gentle winemaking techniques to mould a style renowned for its definitive varietal expression, fine natural acidity and the ability to age, gaining even greater complexity with time." - Notes from Granite Hills.
