Stargazer Palisander Riesling 2024

The dry Riesling in the Stargazer range, fermented exclusively in ceramic and concrete egg for texture and complexity. Fruit comes from Samantha Connew’s own Tea Tree vineyard in the Coal River Valley, planted in 2002 on clay loam over ironstone soils. Hand-picked, destemmed and given 12 hours skin contact before wild ferment, then left on lees for 10 months. Pale yellow with aromas of green apple, citrus, yuzu and fennel pollen, the palate is finely textured with sherbet-like acidity, chalky phenolics and a refreshing, sea spray finish.
