Coal Valley Vineyard Wine

2007 Riesling
Typical of the Rieslings we prefer, the 2007 vintage is crisp, elegant, dry and aromatic, reflecting the cool climate growing conditions that allow for the development of exceptional aromas and flavours during the gradual ripening period. Clear and bright with fresh steely lime aromas. Beautifully balanced with a lemon/lime palate that lingers.

$25 bottle / $300 dozen (13 bottles to the dozen - $23.08/b)
Cellar Club price 13 to the dozen plus 10% off - $270/case)

COAL VALLEY VINEYARD 2007 RIESLING
"This is a cracker - juicy, lime-flavoured, fresh and vibrantly crisp, flinty, mouth puckering dry, refreshingly clean and a finish that goes forever, holding the promise of even better things after a few years in the cellar."

2006 Riesling
The 2006 Riesling grapes were allowed to ripen a little longer than our usual Riesling crops and this has resulted in the development of more stone fruit aromas and hints of apricot. A perfect marriage for the oysters harvested in the waters directly in front of the restaurant or with the delicate sweet fillets of Tasmanian flat head fish.

Lemon and lime blossom aromas; unusually rich and ripe by Tasmanian standards, possibly with a bit of botrytis influence; ready when you are. Drink now until 2010.
