Although it has spent two years in the bottle prior to release, the wine still looks young and fresh, and will surely benefit from further ageing.<br /> <br /> Colour : Bright straw with light tints<br /> <br /> Aroma : Classic lime and mineral notes<br /> <br /> Palate : Citrus and mineral flavours and a persistent dry finish. These will intensify and soften with further bottle age.<br /> <br /> Fermentation: Stainless steel 100%<br /> <br /> Maturation: 2 years bottle age in the winery cellar<br /> <br /> Variety: Riesling 100% from the Highfield Estate </p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td><strong>Price</strong>: </td> <td><span id="bnz455priceTOTAL"><strong>£12.95 </strong><span style="font-size: 13px;
