Bryterlater Svelte Riesling 2023

Bryterlater Svelte Riesling 2023

A nod to winemaker James Graves Opie's love of textural Germanic Riesling. This was harvested ripe with a tiny amount of botrytis to balance its natural acidity. Once harvested, the grapes were briefly soaked (24hr skin soak) to develop texture and palate weight, before being pressed into tank. Once settled the juice was transferred into aged large format French oak and aged sur lie until the following year. The result is a wine with Riesling's hallmark citrus and grapefruit hues, but with lovely touches of juniper, candied apple and sea spray alongside.

In a nutshell; a dry, textural Riesling but with complexity. Drinks all too well.

Citrus, Lively, Saline, and Untamed.
