2023 Butler's Grant Old Vines Riesling – A Pure Expression of Terroir
The 2023 Butler’s Grant Old Vines Riesling is a stunning showcase of the estate’s oldest Riesling vines, planted in 1980 at Butler’s Grant Vineyard. Crafted with wild fermentation and aged six months on lees, this Riesling undergoes 100% malolactic fermentation, resulting in a wine of exceptional depth and complexity.
Tasting Notes
The nose is mineral-rich, featuring aromas of salinity, wet stones, and vineyard-specific ginger notes, layered with zesty lemon, lime, green apple, and ripe peach. The palate is beautifully textured, with a creamy mouthfeel from lees aging. Bright flavors of green pear, gushing lime, and lemon zest shine through, balanced by vibrant acidity and just a hint of residual sweetness, making for a rounded, texturally satisfying finish.
