The 2004 Riesling is the first to be produced under the Wicks Estate Label. The fruit was carefully harvested after reaching the desired flavour ripeness and gently pressed with both free run and pressings fractions kept separate. A small proportion of the pressings were blended back, achieving the desired wine structure and flavour profile.
With a high potential existing for Riesling in the Adelaide Hills, although often overlooked in lieu of Sauvignon Blanc, the 2004 Wicks Estate Riesling shows that Adelaide Hills Riesling deserves considering.
We have made a commitment to pursue the finer points of this variety and aim to set the benchmark wine style for the Adelaide Hills region. This attractive wine displays lively citrus fruit intensity on the palate coupled with generous floral aromatic notes and a vibrant clean finish.
