| Summary | Rizza: It’s time for a “Rizza” – a “Riesling” and turn of phrase “Palate cleanser”. Made from 100% estate grown Riesling, it is a refreshing, semi-sweet style of wine with good tangy acidity and a clean finish. It is low in alcohol and perfect to enjoy with spicy foods or equally as a drink by itself. It is an interesting and enjoyable wine that appeals even those who don’t do sweet styles. |
| Vinification | Hand-picked fruit. Cold pressed, left to settle. Warmed natural yeast added, producing cloudy fermented juice to promote texture and shape. A close eye was kept on fermentation in order to get the sugar levels just right. After fermentation, it was left to cool for the next few months. Lightly filtered. |
| Colour | Light straw. |
|---|---|
| Nose | Tropical fruits of young mango, citrus and lychee with hints of rosewater and sweet spice. |
| Palate | Sweet, spicy and light with tropical fruit flavours and a refreshing finish. |
| Notes | Enjoy this wine with spicy foods, Asian dishes, summer fruits or with dessert. Serve chilled as a refreshing aperitif on a hot day or as a palate refresher. |
