Carrick
Josephine Riesling 2022 750ml

A medium-sweet style bursting with lime and mandarin

Josephine is the alternative name given by sailors to the Carrick Bend knot. Josephine, our reserve Riesling, is made from selected parcels of grapes hand-harvested from Arthur’s Vineyard. The sweetest wine of the range, it is a medium-sweet, mosel-esque style.

A vibrant medium-sweet Riesling, delicious alongside south-east Asian dishes, with soft goat cheese or on its own as an aperitif.

Winemaking: Hand-picked, whole-bunch pressed, then fermented using native yeast in tank. The fermentation is brought to a close when an appropriate balance of sugar and acid is found.

"The 2022 Josephine was derived from a low-yielding vintage which delivered impeccable fruit, both in terms of bunch structure, but also flavour intensity. The resulting wine exudes fruit intensity both on the nose and on the palate, apricot, lime, orange peel and passionfruit notes can be found. It's zesty, well-balanced, and generous, with a long finish reminiscent of orange sherbet." - Winemaker Rosie Menzies
