A fabulous Riesling from Weir, which has a soaring bouquet of bergamot, lime, honey, smoky minerals, with flowers on the nose. The palate is decidedly mineral with a long citrus aftertaste and just a hint of residual to round everything out.
A lively Sauv Blanc with a lifted personality of nectarine, passion fruit, fruit salad, lemongrass, and flowers. Mid-weight with great length. Pair with sole topped with lemon dill sauce.
Orchard and stone fruit aromas before a slightly effervescent, more dry than off-dry palate. Hints of rose petal and ginger in a pleasingly leaner but still expressive and food-friendly style.
A lighter style compared to previous vintages, but one which is still of high quality. Riesling’s natural acidity frames the sweetness quite nicely, and the flavours of peach, pear, apple compote, mineral and lime carry long.
The 5 denotes that the wine spent that amount of time aging on its yeast cells before being disgorged. This has created a bubbly with lots of toasty/yeasty qualities which marry with strawberry, peach, cherry and earth qualities. Bright acidity, long finish and a certain austerity hallmark this wine.
A dark golden/orange colour introduces the apple concentrate, candied pear, peaches in honey and spice. Long finish, focused with just the right amount of acidic lift.
Toast, caramel, apple, white flower, honey and smoke on the nose meet up with spice and cream on the palate. Fine length, solid acid and a round mouthfeel make for a perfect pairing with grilled salmon.
