The Courtesan Riesling 2017

The fruit from this winery is sourced from Justin Ardilla’s easterly-facing vineyard in the Clare Valley. The vines are grown on their own roots in red clay soil over limestone. The wine is fermented at a cool temperature in stainless steel tanks to retain a fruit profile and the finished wine is aged on its lees for 2-3 months before bottling. Capturing all the mouthwatering lime and elderflower character one expects from great Riesling, the Courtesan has a bold palate hinting at grapefruit, ripe melon and quince.
