Rietvallei Estate
Riesling 2010
Viticulture
The Rhine Riesling vineyards where established in 1985 in rich calcareous soil. The vines are trellised and under irrigation.
Winemaking
The grapes were picked by hand at 21 °Balling (Brix). In the cellar, the juice fermented in stainless steel tanks at an average temperature of 15°C till dry. After fermentation the wine was left on the lees for a couple of months. Finally the wine was stabilized, filtered and bottled in July.
The Winemaker’s Comments
A slightly sweet Riesling showing lots of fruit and a lively spiciness. The wine is well balanced by a firm acidity which lingers pleasantly on the palate. A lovely, fruity, light in alcohol, everyday and every occasion drinking wine.
