Sourced exclusively from the esteemed Block 1 site, renowned for its deep schist soils and cool aspect, this wine reflects both precision and restraint, with crystalline acidity at its core. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 2025 vintage delivered ideal ripening conditions, allowing fruit to achieve aromatic complexity while retaining vibrant freshness and tension. In the glass, it displays a luminous pale straw colour with hints of green that reflect its vibrant, energetic freshness. The bouquet opens with expressive notes of lime blossom, green apple, citrus pith and subtle jasmine, lifted by a thread of wet stone minerality that gives early promise of depth. On the palate, the vibrant acidity drives a seamless interplay between concentrated lemon and lime fruit, pear skin and a saline, almost flinty underpinning that adds compelling focus. Texturally refined yet intensely energetic, the wine carries these elements with poise, balancing power with precision. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe finish is long, cool and mineral-charged, leaving a lingering echo of citrus tension and slate-like nuance that resonates well beyond the final sip. This Block 1 Riesling captures the rare harmony of purity, vigor and site specificity that defines Felton Road’s terroir-inspired whites.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1628\" data-end=\"1647\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1628\" data-end=\"1645\"\u003eTasting Notes\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1649\" data-end=\"1657\"\u003eNOSE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1657\" data-end=\"1660\"\u003e– Luminous and refined\u003cbr data-start=\"1682\" data-end=\"1685\"\u003eFragrant layers of lime blossom, lemon zest, green apple and jasmine intertwined with wet stone minerality and a hint of saline breeze.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1822\" data-end=\"2032\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1822\" data-end=\"1832\"\u003ePALATE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1832\" data-end=\"1835\"\u003e– Taut and sculpted\u003cbr data-start=\"1854\" data-end=\"1857\"\u003eDriven by acidity, the palate delivers intense citrus and orchard fruit flavours, thread-like mineral tension and a chalky texture that frames each element with precision.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2034\" data-end=\"2201\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2034\" data-end=\"2044\"\u003eFINISH\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"2044\" data-end=\"2047\"\u003e– Long and crystalline\u003cbr data-start=\"2069\" data-end=\"2072\"\u003eA persistent, mineral-lingering finish marked by cool slate, citrus peel and vibrant acidity that carries with poise and clarity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2203\" data-end=\"2445\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2203\" data-end=\"2226\"\u003eReviews \u0026amp; Accolades\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"2226\" data-end=\"2229\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e“Razor-sharp and beautifully balanced, this Block 1 Riesling combines piercing acidity with focused citrus and mineral definition.
