ChaLou Riesling

Tasting Notes: An off-dry style with a vibrant aroma. sweet orange and mandarin, complemented by fragrant white florals, jasmine + peonies. The touch of sweetness ties the aromatic to the palate with a burst of fruit and florals but drawing to a beautiful dry finish.

Food: Spicy chicken larb mint, lemongrass and roasted rice 

Season: A warm wet spring followed by a hot and reasonably dry summer, with rain at welcomed intervals. Vines were shoot thinned and and crop reduced to balance vines.  Beautiful ripeness from the 2025 season giving depth and power to wines. 

Winemaking Notes:

Picked in the cool of the morning before whole bunch pressing

Gentle extraction to ensure low phenolics. 

Fermented at cooler temperatures <14C with wild yeast.

Ferment was arrested with some residual sugar to obtain off-dry style balancing sugar with taut acidity.

No fining = Vegan Friendly
