Notes
The Sherwood Estate 2008 Riesling was sourced from our Stirling and Georges Road Vineyards in Waipara, North Canterbury.
The fruit was harvested in late April 2008 in excellent condition.
Selecting the free run and light pressings, the juice was fermented under cool conditions to retain elegance and fruit intensity. Following a 3-month period on yeast lees the wine was lightly fined, filtered and bottled.
The 2008 Riesling captures the true essence of Waipara Riesling. The nose is floral with aromas of lemons and limes leading on to a beautifully balanced and concentrated palate.
An off-dry style to be enjoyed on most occasions over the next three years.
