Howard Booysen Riesling 2011

By popular demand, the long awaited dry style Riesling has finally arrived. In order to achieve both depth and complexity, I sourced the grapes from the core of the wine growing region, and crafted a full bodied richer style. My lifestyle range delivers supple flavours for daily enjoyment at great value. Serving temperature: 5-10 °C.

Having a natural high acidity and divine aromatics, this wine accompanies seafood with a touch of spice, savory delicacies like oysters with a relish, not to mention a cream base to cut straight through. In asparagus season it is a winner, as well as your dukkah laced salad… Take your pick, and enjoy!

about the harvest: The grapes were harvested at optimum ripeness from the Stellenbosch region.

in the cellar : The grapes were fermented in stainless steel tanks at lower than usual temperatures. Oxidative practices were applied to deliver mouth-feel and immediate enjoyment. Minimal additives were used, and no influence of oak was necessary to deliver complexity to this work horse grape that ages oh so well in bottle.
