2018 Roustabout Mount Barker Riesling

A family owned and operated vineyard in the Pyrenees - there are no shortcuts here, attention to detail prevails and the wine speaks for itself. This chardonnay Chardonnay is medium to light bodied with noticeable acidity and flavors of green plum, apple and pear.

Grown in rich volcanic soils on a single vineyard in Kangaroo Ground, it is lightly crushed and pressed then fermented in super premium seasoned and 30 percent new French barriques. It has gorgeous hints of butterscotch and honey, with some fresh fruit notes of Pineapple and Passionfruit, making it utterly irresistible. It has a beautiful creamy texture which comes from barrel stirring every 2 weeks for a period of 6 months. One of Yarra Valleys finest chardonnays.

Peaches, nectarines and braised nuts introduce layers of citrus blossom, vanilla pod and cinnamon. The entry is dense and coating with a clean acid line adding structure and lift to a concentrated stone fruit palate. The finish is primary and unyielding, laced with lime zest, strudel and custard apple.
