Rietvallei John B Riesling 2011

A slightly sweet Riesling showing lots of fruit and a lively spiciness. The wine is well balanced by a firm acidity which cuts through the acidity and lingers pleasantly on the palate. A lovely, fruity, light in alcohol, everyday and every occasion drinking wine.

A perfect partner for Asian food or any other spicy dishes. Ideal for outdoor picnics and no need for a corkscrew, it's screw-cap!Serve chilled (7 - 10°C).

in the vineyard : The Rhine Riesling vineyards where established in 1985 in rich calcareous soil. The vines are trellised and under irrigation.
about the harvest: The grapes are machine harvested at night at 21° Balling (Brix).
in the cellar : In the cellar, after cold settling, the clean juice are inoculated with a special cultivated wine yeast and cold fermented in stainless steel tanks at 15°C. At around 1.5° Balling (Brix) the fermentation is stopped in order to have a slight residual sugar remain, making the wine semi sweet in style. After fermentation the wine is left on the fine lees for at least two months before bottling.
