The Story

Delicate aromas of ginger, tangerine and tropical florals. An immediate burst of sweetness on the palate (59g/L) coats every corner in delicious tropical fruit flavours. The crisp acid finish and the low alcohol (9.0%) provide a unique balance in this thrilling and exacting wine. The residual sweetness can easily become rather secondary when focusing on the sheer drinkability and poise.

Fruit from the Elms vineyard (vine age mostly 26 years). RS 56 g/l, TA 9.2 g/l (tartaric). That's a lot of acidity!
'Heavier' nose than the Dry version. Still very youthful with a light talcy sherbet sensation. This needs keeping. Lots to chew on. Reminiscent of Cape gooseberries with sweetness, acidity and a light citrus-peel sensation. Super-tangy. A pretty good stab at a Spätlese style! So it needs time… These Felton Road Rieslings seem to have really improved … though I'm aware of the sulphur-derived preservative.
