Wild Ferment Riesling 2013 | Back Vintage

The Riesling story is about a couple of mates, one a grower and one a winemaker. In mid-February 2013, the first bunches were handpicked by a group of mates. Being dry grown, the stressed vines were disregarded and what remained was pristine Clare Riesling ripe for the making. It was whole bunch pressed and fermented for 60 days. It was left on its yeast lees for 4 months to develop texture and depth. It is about a wine to drink now or much later –a wine that will not last long if family and friends have anything to do with it.
