About this Item
CWG Auction Weisser Riesling 2007
6 (1 x 6) 750ml
This wine was selected from a small parcel of one of our two Riesling vineyards and is of a specific clone, WR239. At picking, about 30% of the grapes were 'ennobled' by botrytis. An Alsatian selected yeast was used to carry out the alcoholic fermentation in 3rd fill French barriques. The wine spent 11 months in barrel.
Tasting note: Lime green/yellow in colour. On the bouquet, beautifully perfumed with a melange of aromas; apricot, litchis and honeyed notes infused with lemon/tangerine. The palate entry is decadently creamy with evident glycerol adding weight and texture. The wine has a beautiful acid/sugar balance, with the acidity crisp and clean. All ends in a silky lingering finish.

Critics Ratings
'Soft and rounded, with apple, quince and lime notes that glide through the tender finish. There's nice purity, but this lacks a little drive. Drink now.' - James Molesworth, Wine Spectator
