2019 Riverby Noble Riesling 375ml

Riesling
Its Origins
A major factor in Riverby’s success is the total control over all grape production on the single estate vineyard. A significant portion of the vineyard consists of vines with considerable age and this is complemented by slightly younger vines utilising modern clones. This combination of vine age and meticulous clonal selection is readily apparent in the high quality fruit being produced. Vines were first planted in 1989; on land that had previously been used for cropping and sheep farming. Further plantings have continued over the years, until now over 70 hectares are planted out in Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Riesling, Pinot Gris, Semillon, and Syrah. The most recent planting is of Gruner Veltliner. As part of Riverby’s focus on viticultural excellence, yields are kept very low and several varieties are hand picked. Sustainable grape-growing techniques are practiced throughout the whole grape-growing and winemaking cycle.
What The Critics Say
95/100 Bob Campbell MW
"Intense, luscious and very sweet dessert wine with bush honey, musk, dried apricot and crème brûlée flavours. Pure botrytis flavours don't quite mask delicious varietal characters. 10 MAR 2021." Drink 2021 - 2025
95/100 Wine Orbit, Sam Kim
"A glorious expression, the richly fragrant bouquet shows Manuka honey, dried apricot, orange marmalade and mixed spice aromas, leading to a wonderfully flavoursome palate offering outstanding concentration and lavish texture. It's unctuously sweet and gratifying. At its best: now to 2026. $35.00. 375ml. www.riverbyestate.com. Feb 2021." Drink 2021 - 2026
