White Blend 2022

This Riesling and Pinot Gris field blend is from the Merkel Vineyard that straddles the ridge (~550m above sea level) running up to Mount Bellevue on a forgotten outpost of Whitlands, scythed off by the erosive action of the mighty Boggy Creek that runs between them.
Tropical acid! Imagine all of the fruit components of a scroggin (no chocolate/no nuts), dried apple, pineapple, a bit of paw paw and some sharp apricot. Then throw in some electric acidity, not sour acid, yummy, saliva inducing acid. Literally impossible to drink a bottle in more than 20 minutes(by yourself) excepting some sort of epic tantric mind control.
