tannin and palate persistence round out this French gem

Mountadam Vineyards Eden Valley range is an expression of the purity of cool climate varietals from Estate plantings

It has aromas of brambleberry and cherry with floral notes of lilac and violets and understated hints of cola and cinnamon

the day after tasting I had it with a Malaysian curry and it was a winner

this wine has an excellent longevity

Garagiste Côtier Riesling 2017 stags-leap-wine-cellars tannin and palate persistence roundFrom Red Hill vines planted in sand over brown loam; 100% whole bunch fermentation for 23 days; maturation in old oak for 9 months; bottled unfined and with only minimal sulphur. The nose is bright with clean citrus and yellow plum notes and hint of kero. In the mouth the wine is really vibrant, savoury and powdery, reminding one of our tasters of a Pfalz Riesling on steroids! A lovely wine that will be even better with food.
