Montinore Estate Reserve Riesling 2019

Montinore Estate’s Riesling blocks are planted on a south-facing slope overlooking Graham Lake on the property. Fruit from these 40-year-old, own-rooted Geisenheim 68 clone vines is handpicked and whole cluster pressed before a cool fermentation in stainless steel barrels. Once bottled, the wine is held back for up to two years before release.

The 2019 is another textural and wonderfully bright, dry Riesling from the Montinore crew. It leads with aromas of white peach, citrus, sweet summer florals and chalky freshness before a clean and pure palate that’s just brimming with mouth-watering, zesty flavours, refreshing acidity and a lovely spice-flecked complexity. This is delicious right now, but will also age beautifully over the coming years.
