Mitchelton Blackwood Park Riesling 2009
|
| |
|
|
The 2009 Blackwood Park Riesling is a fusion of the differing yet complimentary characters found in individual Riesling blocks at the Mitchelton vineyard on the banks of the Goulburn River.
Pale antique gold in colour with green highlights, the wine has a delicate yet powerful nose of lifted floral and citrus aromas and a hint of musk. Flavours of freshly cut lemon and lime fill the palate, balanced by crisp acid which ensures the wine will develop superbly in the bottle.
This white variety originated in Germany, renowned for its Riesling
wines. It suits the cooler wine regions of Australia being the fourth
most planted white variety. Citrus and fl oral aromas and fl avours are
most typical of Australian Riesling, with some ageing superbly. The
vine is moderate in vigour with small, compact grape bunches and
small, round berries.
Sporadic but timely rain events late in 2008 ensured soil moisture
conditions were adequate throughout fl owering resulting in even
fruit set across all varieties. The unprecedented heat events
following veraison provided a signifi cant turning point in infl uencing
vintage 2009 yield outcomes. However throughout early stages of
vinifi cation, it became apparent that quality was ranged from very
good to outstanding.
