An exclusively estate grown Riesling wine, from the superlative Kayena Vineyard on the banks of West Tamar and estate vineyards further afield along the apple isle's east coast. Exhibiting great purity of fruit character, an identifiably Tasmanian regionality and refreshing acidity that's a hallmark of the finest cool climate wines. Kayena Vineyard is drinking beautifully alongside prawns, scallops and whiting, a wonderful Tasmainan Riesling which would pair very well alongside traditional French inspired seafood recipes.
Tamar Ridge's objective is to retain the intense fruit characters developed in the cool climate vineyard. All efforts are aimed at nurturing the vines to achieve yields of Riesling at complete flavour ripeness, to be harvested and handled back at the winery in the soundest possible condition. Parcels are whole bunch pressed and immediately run off skins into fermenters with little or no skin contact. Juices are cold settled to remove any solids and inoculated with a selected aromatic yeast strain prior to vinification under strict temperature controls to maximise retention of lovely Riesling fruit characters. A cool and slow fermentation is followed by a number of weeks on primary yeast lees prior to racking.
TASTING NOTES
Bright, pale straw with tinges of green. The nose is refreshingly bright with strong elements of lime juice and citrus blossom supported by hints of minerality and spice. Lean and tight with flavours of lime juice and fresh meyer lemon over a backbone of crunchy acidity which provides an insight into the staying power of the wine. Drinking beautifully alongside prawns, scallops and whiting, would pair very well with French inspired seafood recipes .

About the Tamar Ridge Winery
Great wines are made in the vineyard and it is the exceptional fruit grown at the Kayena Vineyard that forms the cornerstone of the Tamar Ridge and Devil’s Corner range of wines
Located on the western banks of the Tamar River, 40 kilometres north of Launceston, the Kayena Vineyard is planted to a range of cool climate varieties including Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Gris, Riesling, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Employing state-of-the-art winemaking techniques, but with more than a few concessions to the traditional techniques that have served winemakers for centuries, our winemaking goal is to harness the pristine fruit characters the Kayena Vineyard produces, fashioning them into individual wine styles that speak of their cool origins.
