Tasting Note:
Intense with extraordinary length and aromas of lime, spice and complex mineral characters. The palate has vibrant citrus notes with tight, clean acidity and a long textured finish that will see the wine age gracefully for many, many years.
'Funky' Tasting Note:
"Wild yeast fermentation makes for a distinctly different, super-complex Aussie Riesling: sweet talc nose with hints of grapefruit; palate shows citrus and grapefruit pith chiselled with minerals; long, layered, slatey finish". Sarah Ahmed, The Wine Detective

Block one was the first row of vines to be planted at Forest Hill in 1965. Low yielding and hand tendered by Luke Jolliffe our viticulturist; Block One has produced some of the most exciting fruit we have seen in recent times. Fermented with wild yeast.
