Mayfield ‘Backyard’ Riesling 2023 (6 Bottles) Orange, New South Wales

AUSTRALIA WIDE SHIPPING INCLUDED

Vibrant aromas of citrus, musk and a hint of spice. The palate is juicy with driving acidity complemented by balanced, attractive fruit sweetness and a menagerie of citrus and stone fruit flavours. It has a long, linear structure and delicate balance of sweetness and acid.

93 POINTS, WINE PILOT, Shanteh Wale
Acknowledged as one of Orange’s most distinguished sites for Riesling, the backyard block sits at 925m in elevation and faces due North. Picked in the cool of the night and pressed straight into stainless steel. The 2022 shows native finger lime, blossoming jasmine and silver needle white tea. It’s followed by tart orchard apples and chalky minerality with powdery texture. There is delicate precision and handling with the wine finishing with 5 grams of residual sugar, some decent palate weight and lingering length.
