March Release - Two Hemispheres Riesling - New South Wales, Australia - Yakima Valley, Washington
We love the ability to source fruit from diverse regions and blend them into a wine that often exceeds the qualities of the either component. This blend of Rieslings, co-fermented in equal proportions, from vineyards more than 12,000 km. apart is a great example. Individually, each wine has much charm and appeal but vinted together they achieve a new level of complexity. The multiple layers of sensory delight contributed by the 2 components indeed reach new heights.
From Washington Riesling, notes of apple, pear, peach, melon, floral and mandarin establish a solid foundation. The Australian fruit brings out lime, grapefruit, tropical notes and additional spicy floral qualities. A most interesting wine!
We are still evaluating levels of dry/sweet and flavour reserves that will be chosen to define the final product but we already are certain that this wine will offer a unique and enchanting wine experience for those who choose to add it to their cellars.
