Winemaker Note
"hughes & hughes riesling has evolved into a distinctive house style, shaped by Germanic influences and a focus on balance. Each vintage plays with the interplay of residual sugar and acidity to enhance fruit expression and build texture. The result is a bright, versatile Riesling that celebrates both freshness and depth—always aiming for harmony." - Jonny Hughes
Parcels were whole-bunch pressed or soaked on skins for 12 to 24 hours, then fermented slowly with natural yeast in stainless steel and seasoned barrels. Ferments were stopped once sugars and acids reached balance, with the wine matured on lees and undergoing malolactic fermentation late in alcoholic ferment. Bottled unfined and filtered.
Tasting Note
A fully textured Riesling with a little grip. Crunchy acidity frames flavours of ripe citrus, green apple and white florals. Juicy and vibrant with a gently off-dry finish that carries length and energy.
