Rongo Rhapsody Skin Contact 2025
$ 35.00 incl. GST
Description
100% Riesling from the Elgo vineyard in Strathbogie, given 30 days of skin contact. Fermented in neutral barrels, then rested a further six months in neutral oak and naturally stabilized, unfined and unfiltered with sulphur the only addition.
Pours the right golden copper shade. Savoury aromatics – sandalwood, ginger, curry leaf, and a spectrum of herbal teas. Similar impressions in the mouth, again savoury with a saline edge and a pleasing swathe of tannins, firm and forgivingly ripe. Well composed and accessible with enough ‘orange wine’ character for purists.
