A departure from our traditional St Urban vineyard Riesling offerings, this wine comes from 4 special rows in our Bo Teek vineyard. As such, the deep clay soil laying over the limestone base is expressed in a different minerality than the wet limestone normally expressed in the St. Urban wines. Broken shale and silt seem to come forward more. In addition, this wine is fleshy with rich tones of apricot, peach and mango instead of the lemon-lime zip for which our Rieslings are known. This plush wine also has a firm ridge of acidity that keeps it lively and fresh on the palate reducing the perceived sweetness. Even though the clone of Riesling on both vineyards remains identical, the tastes that are expressed due to the specific place diverge.
