Tasting Note
Aroma

2013 has a very expressive nose (in a good way, not a snotty way) lifted limes, white flowers and the scent of new rain.

Palate

The 2013 Teardrop is the best one yet. concentrated yet delicate, long and superb acid the palate is seductive, with mouth-filling fresh pithy grapefruit and limes that builds through the finish and balances a crisp, dry persistent finish. Serve chilled and immediately!

Vinification

The pristine fruit is pressed immediately and the free run component up to 300-400L/T with the delicate citrus and floral aromatics is pressed to tank and clarified. The next 100L/T is pressed direct to large old oak and allowed to ferment naturally with full solids. This gives richness and texture to the Teardrop Riesling without compromising delicacy. The balance is pressings which are sold to other producers.

Pale green-straw; very different to the High + Dry Riesling, here with youthful, but accessible, lime juice flavours effortlessly presented; patience will be rewarded, but is not as essential as that for its Porongurup sibling.
Winemaker Notes
Riesling is purity and heartbreak in a glass. There is no truer expression of soil, aspect and climate but at the same time this late ripening prima donna is not forgiving of lesser sites or management. Mount Barker is one of the sub-regions of the Great Southern region in WA and home to many mature dry grown Riesling vineyards. We have sourced the Teardrop Riesling from a vineyard with 25 year old Riesling vines.
