Orange is one of Australia's premiere and highest grape growing regions with Riesling being a relatively new addition in the area. The Mayfield Vineyard 2013 Late Harvest Riesling has the backbone of a great Riesling, glorious gold glint, orange marmalade, apricot and toffee aromas, sweet opulent palate and a clean lingering finish. Full unctuous mouthfeel, perfectly balanced with crisp, fresh acidity.

The vines that made this beautiful German style sticky were harvested about 4-8 weeks after normal physiological ripeness and the degree of botrytised berries varies per bunch, usually around 40-90%. All fruit is hand selected, slowly pressed, cool fermented, cold settled, blended, fined and filtered prior to bottling.

About Mayfield Vineyard: Mayfield Vineyard has a long and rich history of traditional owners, the local Wiradjuri people. In 1831, the property was gifted to William Charles Wentworth by the Governor of NSW. In the centuries since, the property has been used for grazing cattle and sheep, breeding horses and educating the children of Scottish farm workers. In 1998, the Thomas family planted vines, making it the “Mayfield Vineyard” it is today.

Mayfield Vineyard is now under the stewardship of the Eastham Family and their chief winemaker Charles Simons, with a shared goal for creating the highest quality wines, driven by a passion for sustainability and innovative grape growing practices.

Mayfield Vineyard offers visitors a unique experience to stay, taste and explore. At the beautiful School House Cellar Door visitors can taste award winning wines while overlooking the lake and vines. They also offer private 'Explorers Wine Tastings' on site while meandering through the vineyard, tasting the wines amongst the vines that produced them.
