Prima Riesling

'Prima' Riesling is an early harvest style of wine made from grapes picked three to four weeks before the rest of the vineyard. The final wine has been made in a semi-dry style which retains some of the fruit sugars in balance with the chalky mineral acidity. The naturally lower alcohol of the wine further heightens its refreshing character. Prima Riesling has been sealed with a glass stopper called "vino-lok" which visually enhances the exotic nature of the wine while preserving the pure wine flavours. The 2007 Pewsey Vale Prima Riesling exhibits a real purity of style, with aromas hinting of the classic Pewsey Vale Riesling characters yet most redolent of lemon blossom and home-made lime cordial. The palate shows great length with a vibrancy of perfumed fruits such as guava, mandarin and sweet peach overlaid with a touch of spicy clove. Both Pewsey Vale Vineyard Riesling and this style of wine have great pedigrees for ageing, so even though this is the first 'Prima' Riesling made, we know that the wine will cellar well, slowly developing flavour layers of fresh toast and spice for many years.
