2023 REED 'White Heart' - riesling - mount alexander, vic
TANGY, CHISELED, GENTLE.
WHY WE LOVE IT:
Granitic soils, handpicked, fermented with wild yeasts and aged on lees for 6 months. White Heart Riesling is an off-dry style with complex juice-and-rind citrus flavours. Mineral-and-woodsmoke characters splash over the finish. It’s tangy, with quality tension and natural acidity balanced by gentle sweetness. Lime zest, grapefruit, white flowers, lemon, cumquat and tangerine.
Sierra Reed is the talented winemaker behind Reed Wines, a boutique label that showcases single vineyard expressions from various regions in Australia. - “This is the first year I have stepped out of Geelong to find Riesling fruit. It seems to be that Riesling is a hard grape to come by these days, especially in my home GI. Until I can grow a large enough crop of my own in Torquay, I have decided to venture out to the Granitic climbs of Mount Alexander. The weather definitely threw some challenges my way, but this Riesling was a great example of what lower alcohol and high acidity in a cool vintage can embody. Think bright citrus, minerality and boniness, with a familiar cuddle.”
