Vrede en Lust Early Mist Riesling

PRICE PER BOX OF 6

A high terroir expressive cultivar, this Riesling is produced in a typical German Kabinett style with an off-dry residual sugar. The grapes for this wine are grown on the Vrede en Lust Elgin farm, Casey’s Ridge.

Winemakers notes:

The grapes are hand-picked at different sugar levels and transported to Vrede en Lust in 500kg bins. The grapes are pressed and the juice is then fermented and monitored daily. This process takes place at low temperatures in stainless steel tanks. Fermentation was stopped at the desired sugar levels, resulting in an elegant, off-dry style wine.

Tasting notes:

The Riesling is an elegantly styled and fragrant wine with notes of honeysuckle and fresh citrus flavours followed by lingering minerality. The Early Mist Riesling will be the perfect match for hot and cold smoked salmon or smoked trout dishes.
