Highly aromatic with notes of orange peel, lime, nectarine and mango. Tropical flavours explode on the palate. An off-dry white with great balance.

Enjoy with grilled chicken or pork and spicier dishes.

2009 started off with a cold snap in January which caused some vine damage and resulted in crop numbers to be down from the previous year. Following this we had a slow start to the season, however, a hot, dry summer that carried right through into September created optimal growing conditions which brought with it great fruit ripeness including sugar and acid levels where we wanted them. The early October frost did damage only to the vine leaves, not the grapes. Another great harvest year!

In the vineyard we keep a relatively low tonnage, about 2 tonnes per acre, in order to ensure good balance. Relatively consistent from year to year the Ehrenfelser is one of our most popular whites. The berries were whole-cluster pressed, to extract as much flavour s as possible. The juice then went through a cool ferment in stainless steel tanks which was stopped early leaving some residual sweetness in the wine.

"Ehrenfelser is a cross between Riesling and Sylvaner. Intense tropical fruit flavours and notes of melon and pineapple with well balanced natural acidity and residual sugar."
