Wakefield Estate

Wine Colour
Upon release the wine has a pale straw colour with subtle green highlights.

Wine Bouquet
The wine first has restrained floral aromas of orange blossom and rose petal and then later strong regional and varietal aromas of lime zest appear.

Wine Palate
On release, the wine has a fresh lemon-lime flavoured palate with a crisp acid backbone. The finish has a subtle, pleasing minerally character.

Cellaring Notes
This wine has been crafted to be both enjoyed while young and fresh but also to age. With careful cellaring (up to and beyond 2010) the wine will develop toast, honey and rich lime characters on the nose and palate.

  Sherbety/bath salts nose with toasty maturity starting to develop. Lovely sweet palate - maturing nicely. Good varietal flavour depth and length.

  Wakefield Estate Riesling 2008

  James Halliday, Wine Companion 2011, September 2010

  
  Very pale colour; the regional blend neither adds to nor subtracts from the intrinsic merit of the wine, which retains somewhat one-dimensional pear, green apple and citrus at its core.

  Harvey Steiman, Wine Spectator, June 2013

  
  Aromatic and aristocratic, this is dry, steely and mouthwatering in its structure, overflowing with pear, grapefruit, slate and floral flavors that persist on the extensive finish. Drink now through 2018. 448 cases imported. ûHS
