Wild & Wilder, The Courtesan Riesling, 2021

Style – Dry, White Wine, Medium Bodied
Grapes – Riesling
Region – Clare Valley, Australia 

Winemaking - Fruit was sourced from one vineyard in the Southern end of the Valley, close to Auburn. Mature vines and a moderate season combined to ensure that the yields were very low and fruit concentrated.

Vinification, as one might expect with good fruit, is very simple. The grapes are picked in the cool of the morning and rapidly transported to the winery where they are lightly crushed and sent to press. For the Courtesan, we retain only the purest, free-run juice. The wine is fermented at a cool temperature in stainless steel to retain its fruit profile and the finished wine is aged on its lees for 2-3 months before bottling.

What it tastes like - A crisp, tangy and dry white wine with the typical Clare Riesling character of citrus, blossom and mineral hints. Deliciously juicy on the palate with wonderful, floral citrus fruit and mouthwatering freshness.

Dietary – Vegan, Vegetarian
ABV – 12.5%
