Piri Naturel - Riesling 2020
This is a truly rock n'roll Riesling! Imagine a trip back to summer. Elegant notes of tropical fruits tingle in your mouth. It feels like a meeting between passion fruit, pineapple, melon and lime.

Vinification
After harvest, the Riesling the grapes are left as whole bunches, half in small used barrels and half in stainless steel. The bunches are foot stomped and then gently pressed. Fermentation takes 6 months and after that the juice chills out for a bit further. Like the other cuvee’s this wine has seen an elevage of roughly 9 months before being blended at bottling, without filtration or additives.
