The aromatic nose that leaps out of the glass and develops with intensity shows concentrated lime juice flavours, lemons and hints of underlying spice. A beautifully fresh and lively palate exhibits textured layers of that are tightly bound by a backbone of lime zest.

Made from 100% free run juice, the palate of the 2016 Joshua Tree is fine and full of bright citrus flavours hints of minerality. Those zesty, floral notes from the nose fill out in the mouth in a real explosion of primary fruit and the natural acidity is restrained providing tongue tingling freshness. The wine finishes with bright, finely boned acidity with lingering lemon and lime fruit.

A textbook cool climate Riesling Cuvee grown at the 50th Parallel North. Created to celebrate the Rheingau, a unique region and the motherland of Riesling. The 50th degree of latitude runs right through the middle of this unique region, marking one of the northernmost borders of viable viticulture. In honor of this, the winemakers of Schloss Johannisberg estate have created a Riesling cuvee what one expects of a Rheingau Riesling.

The fruit for this wine was sourced from the most southerly of the Harewood vineyards. The moderating effect of its maritime climate produces a wine which combines the cool climate limey vibrancy of Porongurup riesling with hints of richer tropical fruits more typical of a slightly warmer climate like Mount Barker.

Grapes are harvested in the coolest part of the night (pre dawn), the free run juice separated from its skins within minutes of picking resulting in a wine with impressive delicacy and subtlety.
