 Tasting Notes

Riesling Vintage 2007

 The 2007 Silver Wings Riesling is the first release of this variety (previously exported under the U.S. ‘Marquee Classic’ label).  A selected parcel of wine sourced from the cool Great Southern districts of Western Australia was transported in bulk to Victoria for refinement and processing. We use the traditional shaped bottles sealed with a leading technology screw cap to retain the freshness and pristine flavours, guaranteed free of cork taint.  It is a high quality, crisp and elegant wine offering remarkable intensity of varietal fruit complexities to a long ‘zippy’ fresh acid finish.

 Colour:     Brilliant straw with tinges of green.

Bouquet:    From a slightly warmer year shows pungent fruit characters of fresh cut grass and lime-juice overlaying some mineral and stone-fruit nuances giving integrity to the intense aromatics.

 Palate:       Distinct Riesling fruit characters and mouth-watering freshness lead a complex wine with a delightful and long, tingling finish. A                    fresh, although deeply complex wine as an aperitif or with fresh seafood or Asian delicacies now, it will offer  wonderful                                  development in the cellar for many years, to those with patience.
