Pressing Matters R139 Riesling / 2019 / 375mL

Description:

Pressing Matter RS139 Riesling is a desert riesling that is well-balanced with the residual sugar lifted by the fantastic acidity that characterizes Pressing Matter's terroir driven rieslings.

Winemaker Notes:

The vines selected for the dessert riesling are cane-cut where the grapes are then left to shrivel on the vine, concentrating the sugar within the berries, before being harvested later in the season.

After selective hand-picking, the fruit is gently bag pressed and cold settled for 48 hours.

Post racking, the juice is inoculated with a neutral yeast and fermented at cool temperatures for around three weeks.

After the ferment has been stopped at the required sugar level, the wine spends around 6-8 weeks on lees before being prepared for bottling.
