2021 Seneca Riesling
2021 Seneca Single Vineyard Riesling is a crisp white wine with layered citrus aromas of lime and lemon and lifted floral aromatics of honey suckle. The concentrated palate combines notes of grapefruit, green apples, lemon myrtle with a touch of sherbet to finish. Fine minerality and steely acidity ensures the wine is perfectly balanced with a velvety mouthfeel and a persistent dry finish.
This Riesling pairs perfectly with seafoods dishes fresh oysters, crab cakes, prawn salads or a selection of fine cheeses. An ideal way to start a relaxing afternoon or an evening wind down.
The 21 year old vines are located in the stunning Nagambie Lakes region of the Goulburn Valley. The terroir, nestled by the perennial Goulburn River, consists of textured sandy clay loams over free draining soil. This unique mesoclimate creates warm summer days and cool nights to cultivate beautifully refined Rieslings.
