Dry River

Craighall Riesling

Riesling was rewarded by the rainfall and mild summer temperatures, yielding exquisite aromatics, striking purity, and class upon exposure to oxygen and temperature in the glass. Aromas of spring blossoms, powdered sugar, alyssum, rock melon, grain, vanillin, clover, and riverbed abound. On the palate, a linear stripe expands like an oil drop in water, driven by vibrant acidity lingering deep in the senses. Texture, from flavoursome phenolics and balanced residual sugar, envelops the purity, revealing Granny Smith apple, white pepper, yellow plum, and white nectarine flavours, while reintroducing the aromatics. This youthful, energetic wine promises evolution, rewarding patience for up to 10 years.
