Taste Description
Taste Description
Nose
A complex bouquet, driven by citrus and marmalade characters, with delicate hints of white florals, apricots and ginger
Flavours and Palate
The wine has great elegance, length and balance. Fresh zesty citrus characters are perfectly balanced with the remaining sugar, giving the wine seamless, refreshing length.
A very pure expression of a late harvest Riesling.

Sue Hodder - Senior Winemaker
Sue Hodder is one of Australia’s best-known winemakers and this year celebrates her 27th vintage with Wynns – making wine from wonderful, expressive fruit grown in the heart of the terra rossa. Sue commenced her career as a viticulturist and believes her early viticultural training – assessing vines, analysing mature fruit and tasting the finished wine – gave her an invaluable insight into the importance of the vineyard in quality winemaking.
Sue brings valuable experience with vintages in other noted wine regions around the world and has judged extensively in Regional, National and International wine shows. She is the recipient of many accolades including GT Wines ‘Winemaker of the Year’ in 2010 (with viticulturist Allen Jenkins); and most recently ‘Winemaker of the Year’ (with Sarah Pidgeon) at the 2016 ASVO awards.
