Riesling
2006 ‘Tertini and Knight’ Riesling

Tertini and Knight is our premium Private Cellar Collection. These wines only use the finest fruit from the best seasons. If the fruit is not good enough, the wine is not made. Enjoy now or cellar to fully appreciate the complexities of these wines.

Tasting Notes: Pale yellow in colour. Ripe and intense citrus and floral flavours. Hints of rose petals with an intense minerally palate.

Wine Analysis: Alcohol = 10.4%, pH = 2.82, TA = 10.4g/l, Residual Sugar = 8.0g/l

Vintage Notes: The 2006 vintage was again generally warm and dry, making the life of the vineyard manager a little easier than most years. The fruit was harvested on 30th March at 12.0 Baume. Shoot and bunch thinning were practices employed to maintain low yields and improve the quality of the fruit. Constant fruit sampling near harvest ensured the fruit maintained the elegant Riesling flavours with good natural acidity.

Fruit Source: 100% Southern Highlands

Peak Drinking: Next 10 years

“An exceptionally intense and vibrant palate, with lime juice flavours obscuring other characters which you sense more than taste; has begun its leisurely development towards maturity.”
