Alana Estate Riesling

Product Description

Alana Estate was founded in 1993. Alana wines are very sought after around the world and are on strict allocation. Our wine philosophy starts in the vineyard. In all our treatments such as pruning , fruit thinning , canopy training we respect the subtle difference of each vine. We aim to create a vineyard with complexity and sturdy vine health throughout the property. We carry this attitude into the winery where we endeavour to identify significantly different parcels of fruit which we keep separate and make in a style that promotes its positive attributes. Once these wines are blended, we take away the knowledge of what part of our vineyard is performing and contributing more than its weight in the blend. The resulting wines from Alana demonstrate a collage of subtle complexities which are a combination of terroir, climate of the growing season, viticulture and winemaking…

Brilliant straw-yellow colour with slight green hues, this has a shy bouquet with delicate aromas of white florals, musk and honeysuckle, with minerally nuances. Medium to medium-dry to taste and light-bodied, bright, racy acidity is prominent. Subtle flavours of florals with honey and exotic notes build to provide good presence and mouthfeel. The textures are fine, and allow delicate notes of honey and herbs unfold. The wine has an understated finish with the acidity enlivening the ethereal floral elements.
