Snake + Herring Teardrop Riesling 2013
2013 has a very expressive nose (in a good way, not a snotty way) lifted limes, white flowers and the scent of new rain.
100% Riesling
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!
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.
