2021 Riesling Loved By Lu - NEW RELEASE

$21.95

Riesling Loved By Lu, our most popular white wine, is named in honour of Sue-Ann's grandmother and mentor, Lu Staff. Sue-Ann grew up in the Staff family vineyards, and her beloved grandmother taught Sue-Ann how to love and care for the vines from an early age.

Vinification: The fruit for Riesling Loved By Lu was harvested exclusively from the estate vineyard from 16- to 30-year-old vines grown on thin clay soils with escarpment limestone rock beneath. Most vines are clone 21 on SO4 rootstock. After gentle pressing, the juice went through cool fermentation and aging in stainless steel. We filtered and sweetened the wine before bottling.

Tasting notes: Expect bright, clear suggestions of lemon oil on the nose of Riesling Loved By Lu. Juicy citrus continues on the palate, with layers of honeysuckle and warm almond. Zippy and clean, with a nice long finish.

Serving suggestions: Delightful served well-chilled on its own, or enjoy with poached cod or halibut with a butter caper sauce; mustard crusted pork loin; roast turkey breast; chicken wrapped in prosciutto
