A vineyard that has just hit its 50th birthday, making Granite Hills one of the Macedon Ranges treasures, not just for the vine age but the metronome like consistency of their Riesling in particular.
The wine has achieved 13% alcohol which means it has concentration and depth of fruit, but it has not been at the expense of a mineral backdrop of acidity and flowing citrus fruits; a unique attribute of truly cool climate viticulture. The palate combines fresh lime with jasmine and lemon pith. There is great mouthful and excellent length to finish and you can be assured it will reward many years in the cellar.
