Konrad Bunch Selection Riesling 2007
|
| |
|
|
A brilliant, very pale straw green colour. The nose is very pure showing classic citrus blossom, ripe red apple & limes with very delicate white flower aromatics underpinned by subtle mineral notes.
The palate is precisely balanced between very pure Riesling fruit
and refreshing juicy acidity. Intensely flavoured showing similar characteristics to the nose but a wonderfully mouth filling sensation from very high extract fruit.
The ripest bunches are selectively hand picked in small batches from the company owned Waihopai Valley site. Soil in the vineyard is of stony silt with loam topsoil and free draining. Canopy Management is vertical shoot positioning with shoot and crop thinning.
This wine is a result of meticulous attention to detail in the vineyard whereby only the ripest bunches were hand selected, gently whole
bunch pressed and then stop fermented where the sweetness balances the laser like acidity. With careful cellaring this wine will reward those patient enough to wait a few years.
