KT Pazza Riesling 2017 South Australia Clare Valley

Description

KT Pazza Riesling 2017

KT Pazza Riesling 2017 is oxidatively handled.This slightly off dry style with its savoury qualities and defined grapefruit green apple and spice.

Wines by KT are small, lovingly cared for parcels of fruit that have traditional techniques used in their creation. I’m passionate about the township of Watervale 5452 and am working with dry grown, sustainably farmed vineyards in the area. With gentle care from grapegrower to winemaker, working with sustainable principles, it’s my intention to produce wines with drinkability and personality.

The word pazza in Italian is the feminine version of CRAZY and this is my preservative free, wild fermented, unfined, unfiltered, Riesling sourced from the dry grown Watervale Peglidis vineyard. This wine is oxidatively handled and fermented in a blend of stainless steel and fifteen year old French oak barriques for 12 months. This slightly off dry style with its savoury qualities shows that Riesling can indeed come in many different shapes and sizes.

Sealed with a screwcap to ensure integrity of product, you can be confident that this wine will continue to reward you with careful cellaring.

The focus of Wines by KT is creating individual vineyard wines from the sustainably cared for Peglidis and Churinga vineyards, in Watervale, South Australia. It was these vineyards that I selected as the most exciting from my winemaking experience at Leasingham – now providing the heart of all my single vineyard wines – Riesling, Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, Grenache and Tempranillo.
