2024 Tasmanian Riesling

The Bird in Hand Tasmanian Series is a limited release, crafted to harness the cool-climate terroir and produce wines of distinct character and elegance. It is an ode to winemaking in the rugged wilderness of Australia’s final frontier.

Grapes were sourced from two unique, carefully selected sites in West Tamar valley and Derwent valley.

Handpicked and sorted fruit underwent whole bunch pressing and only the free run juices were used for this wine. Cold settling, followed by cool fermentation ensured preservation of fruit forward characters, followed by six weeks on light lees to enhance mouth feel.
         
Aromas of fresh grapefruit and tangerine, with floral hints of honeysuckle and lily of the valley. On the palate, this crisp and vibrant wine bursts with lively lemon and green apple flavours, accented by a subtle hint of honey mead spice. Its textured body reveals slate undertones, while energising acidity adds persistency and purity to the finish.
