2023 Patrick of Coonawarra Methode Skinny Riesling 750ml

Welcome to V2023 of our Méthode Skinny Riesling. A trial to take the traditional crisp, fresh style of Riesling and give it body and texture. The grapes were harvested and pressed, with 20% volume of whole berries added back to the juice. Fermented on skins, then transferred to old oak Puncheons for 6 months. The resultant wine is complex, textural with an earthy element, backbones with a fine acid line and crisp finish. The palate is full and luscious with the balance coming from the crisp acid finish. Made to enjoy with food and drink slightly below room temperature.  Expect a very easy to drink wine. Dry, with flavours of citrus, pear and brioche.   Winemaking VARIETY/VARITIES: 100% Riesling REGION: Coonawarra HARVEST DATE: 10th 2020  HARVEST BAUME: 11.0 BOTTLING DATE: 3rd February 2021 BOTTLING ANALYSIS  Alcohol: 11.0 TA: 6.8 pH: 3.35 MATURATION: 8 Months in used French oak Puncheons  WINE STYLE: Textured, full-bodied, crisp COLOR: Pale straw WINE MAKER: Luke Tocaciu
