In 2023 we made two individual Skin-fermented Rieslings from a single vineyard. One picked directly from the base of the escarpment, the other 200m further away. It’s an exploration of terroir with skin fermentation! Sourced from individual blocks from the Grimsby Hillside Vineyard. Nimbus is from Block 460 sitting at the base of the escarpment; benefitting from late-day shade and deeper soils. Hand picked fruit was destemmed and fermented naturally in stainless steel. Punched down twice daily until pressing after 11 days. Put to barrel to age for 7 months. Bottled with 50 ppm added sulphur, unfined and unfiltered. Aromatics of lemon-lime, a hint of nittiness and clove. On the palate there’s a slight bitterness of kaffir lime leaves and light tannins. A very delicate texture. Floral and poised.
