HIGHLIGHTS

Small- Batch Release

"An attractive, sweetish Rizza with lots of florals, lemon-lime cordial, fresh herbs and a freshness."

Jane Faulkner, Halliday Wine Companion

A cool spring moderated yeilds and coninstent weather through the key ripening period locked in naturally high levels of acidity and fruit intensity. A touch of residual sweetness has been left in this wine to compliment and balance the high levels of natural acidity.

ORIGIN
Tasmania, Australia.
This wine was grown in Handpicked’s Native Point Vineyard on the eastern side of the Tamar and one of the valley’s warmest vineyard sites. Its gentle slopes face north, catching the most of the sun, and drop towards the wide river, which provides a year round moderating effect.

CRAFTING & AGEING
Whole bunch pressed into a large concrete egg and naturally fermented for around three weeks. Critical to retaining provenance was preserving the bright acid line and a complementing it with a touch of sweetness, in true Tasmanian style.

AROMA & PALATE
Delicate white flower aromatics opens to a palate of elderflower, lime curd, honey and subtle ginger spice. Lipsmacking powdery acitidy frames the palate and drives to long, fine finish.

SERVING & FOOD PAIRING
Roasted pork belly with crackling, shellfish, salads, cheese fondue.
