GHOST ROCK RIESLING 2024 - white

Style: Dry & RacyNestled among the rolling patchwork fields on the beautiful coastline of Northern Tasmania, you'll find one of the state's coolest wine regions - the Cradle Coast, also known as the North West Wine Region. We're located just 15 minutes from Devonport where the Spirit of Tasmania docks, and offer one of Tasmania's most unique food and wine experiences!With striking views over the vineyards and out to Bass Strait, our modern Cellar Door and Eatery offers tastings across our entire range, and a lunch menu featuring a variety of local produce. All our wines are grown, made and bottled on site, and for those of you looking to spend a few days on the coast, our Vineyard House accomodation provides the perfect base to explore the North! GHOST ROCKIn '01, Cate and Colin Arnold purchased the former Patrick's Creek Vineyard. The vineyards now total 30ha; pinot noir (14 clones) remains the bedrock of the plantings, with other varieties including chardonnay, pinot gris, riesling and sauvignon blanc. Ownership has passed to son Justin and his wife, Alicia (who runs the cellar door). Justin’s experience in the Yarra Valley (Coldstream Hills), Margaret River (Devil’s Lair) and Napa Valley (Etude) has paid dividends. -JAMES HALLIDAYThere have been a few tweaks to the Ghost Rock riesling as of late; 50% fermented in neutral oak puncheons now with some lees stirring, the resulting wine showing a defined, textural allure but still with the tight, limey Cradle Coast aromatics. Lime, lemon, crunchy green apple and grapefruit with citrus blossom lift and a wicked saline sea spray acidity setting the pace. Super drinking.
