  A Dozen 2017 Harewood Estate Porongurup Riesling, Great Southern Western Australia 750ml
  The Great Southern wine growing region of WA provides unmatched versatility and quality for a winemaker. The grapes for this wine were sourced from one of the original plantings of Riesling in the 600m Porongurup ranges of Western Australia’s Great Southern wine region. Only the finest, more pristine, “free-run” juice was used in the production of this wine resulting in a palate of outstanding finesse, free from the harsh, phenolic characters and deeper colours associated with grape pressings. A long, cool ferment in stainless steel tanks, minimal fining and the use of screw caps are all further steps towards capturing the inherent delicacy of this cool climate variety. A brilliant, exceptionally pale straw colour with youthful green tinges. The wine exhibits fine floral and citrus notes enhanced by an underlying flinty vibrancy. An elegant, seamless palate with initial flavours of green apple and grapefruit leading to a crisp mid-palate with an underlying slate character finishing with classic mouth-watering lemons and limes. The fine structure is testament to the care taken during this wines production. Riesling of this pedigree and class is an absolute bargain.. Enjoy! 96 points, James Halliday “The bouquet is of classic Great Southern riesling, leaving it to the palate to build on this, which it does so with elan. Its mouthwatering flavours span citrus, Granny Smith apple and slatey acidity, all soaring on the finish and aftertaste.”
