for 8-12 years, developing wonderful toasty, lime characters. It is equally
enjoyable as a younger wine.

Grape Variety :: Riesling Region :: Coonawarra Harvest :: 24th - 27th February pH :: 3.01 Acidity :: 7.1g/L RS :: 2.9g/L Alc/vol :: 12.5% Vintage :: 2012 was an early vintage at the Katnook winery, commencing at the beginning of February. The warmer than normal growing season from October to April helped lead to the earlier ripening and ideal flavour development, which was aided by very little rain and no disease pressure during harvest. Cellaring Potential :: Our Katnook Estate Riesling wine will age gracefully for many years. Food Matching :: Riesling is delightful as an aperitif but will also beautifully accompany a fresh seafood platter or lightly pan-fried whiting served with a crisp green salad and chat potatoes. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
