Illimis Riesling, 11.5%, 750ml, 2017

£32.50

 

Whole bunch pressed, spontaneous fermentation in 4th fill barrels. Aged 7 months in barrel. No additions apart from sulphur. Lightly filtered.
Nestled on a south facing slope next to a wetland in Darling South Africa, lies this young, Riesling vineyard. The cooler slope contributes to the lively acidity of this unconventional Riesling with distinctive floral aromas.
Typical Riesling character with floral, lime, green apple and spicy notes. Rich texture that is balanced by lively acidity.
