Pirie Estate Riesling 2007

The colour is lemon/gold. Bouquet carries notes of linden and orange blossom, perhaps from the early but low-cropping year, overlaid with a touch of honey. The palate is full and rich, balancing the vintage's marked acidity and the slight phenolic grip sought for this wine. This structure will ensure the wine will develop complexity in the bottle for many years.
"This '07 is maturing nicely, building some bottled-derived savoury notes amid concentrated lemon and lime peel aromas. The palate is quite a spicy, dry affair with some neat, developed citrus flavour and gentle acidity, finishing with clean, soft lemon citrus." - Nick Stock, The Penguin Good Australian Wine Guide 2010.
Pirie Tasmania is the latest evolution of one man’s belief that Tasmania can be one of the truly great wine regions of the world. As Australia’s first PhD in viticulture, founder of Pipers Brook and Ninth Island labels (1973-2002) and twice finalist in Qantas AGT Australian Winemaker of the Year, Andrew Pirie’s contribution to the industry is indisputable, as now is Tasmania’s position as a jewel in the crown of Australian wine.
The Estate wines are sourced from privileged sites in the Tamar Valley, producing classically structured wines that develop further complexity with cellaring.
