So much to like about the Riesling 2024. Grapes from two sites in Elgin, one in the Kogelberg Biosphere and the other on higher slopes close to the Groenlandberg, fermentation involved inoculation with a commercial yeast suited to the variety.
Lime, green apple, flowers, an attractive herbal note and flinty reduction on the nose. The palate’s not exactly lean (the residual sugar is 8.3g/l necessary to offset the total acidity of 7.1g/l) but it has an enchanting clean, sappy quality – pure and poised, the finish dry. Price: R180 a bottle.
CE’s rating: 91/100.
