Mewstone Riesling 2023

$56.00

Fermenting this wine exclusively in seasoned neutral barrels has become a hallmark of the style of the Mewstone Riesling, something they have been consistently doing even in the early days of this wine.

Sourced from two blocks of approximately just over a hectare in size, planted in 2011 and 2017/2018 respectively from the estate plantings next to the D’Entrecasteaux channel.

Whole-bunch pressed, lightly settled then put to old oak and naturally fermented. Mewstone halt the ferment when they feel the sugar/acid ratio is in balance. Then left on lees until late spring before bottling. 6.5 grams RS.

“This is a stoney Riesling, intensely flavoured, long, brightened by fruit sweetness but essentially dry-feeling. It’s quite the goods. It tastes of lime, green apple, mandarin, paw-paw and sandalwood, and while it feels cutting throughout, there’s a textural element in play too. It’s a gorgeous wine” – 94 Points – Campbell Mattinson – Winefront
