Moya Meaker’s Riesling vineyard was planted in 2006 on a southwest-facing slope on our estate in the Elgin Valley. The densely planted vines are rooted in ancient Bokkeveld shale soils; rich in clay. On the palate, this classic cool climate Riesling shows pristine natural acidity, reminiscent of razor-like shards of lemon candy, padded with white citrus pith. Sweeter touches of green apple candy are interlaced with tart Seville orange notes, and touches of wild honey. This all leads to a remarkably lengthy tail of homemade lemonade, apricot preserve, and raw almond.
