Wine Family: The Originals

Tasting Notes:
Lifted aromas of fresh lime, lemon sherbet, and lavender. The palate showcases crunchy Granny Smith apple and concentrated finger lime, with an incredible balance of zesty acidity and flinty minerality. A luscious hint of natural fruit sweetness adds depth. This is a fresh, crisp, and vibrant example of Riesling, bursting with intensity. It’s drinking beautifully now and has outstanding potential for long-term ageing.

Behind the Name:
In 1992 our neighbours built a dam that remained empty, as it was a dry winter. The next year it rained but the dam was jinxed and didn't hold water. A dry dam is bad news for our neighbouring farmers, but promises good results for our old, dry-grown, low-yielding vines.
