Wild Earth Wines Riesling 2021

The pristine Riesling grapes were hand harvested from a single vineyard near Lake Waitaki at optimal ripeness on 12 April 2021. The grapes were whole bunch pressed to a stainless steel tank for cold settling for two days. The juice was then racked and the juice inoculated with selected wine yeast and fermented at cool temperatures to retain the fresh aromatics. The fermentation was stopped at the perfect balance of residual sugar and acidity resulting in a just slightly off-dry wine with a long dry, crisp, and mineral finish.
