TASTING NOTES:

The full flavoured grapes used to produce The Dry Dam Riesling were gently crushed in small batches, chilled, and basket pressed. The juice obtained was then fermented until dryness, to retain the residual sugar elements. This process led to the creation of a pale straw coloured wine showing light green shades. The fragrant nose is perfumed with talc, sherbet, citrus and white flower aromas. Dart like acidity combines with residual sweetness on the clean palate, to culminate in a delicate and lively finish. This delightful Riesling has been crafted as an early drinking wine, but can also be cellared for a short term to develop a toasty and complex flavour profile. Pair this wonderful white wine with foods like grilled chicken, barbecued prawns stuffed with lemon zest and basil, and roasted stuffed red peppers.
