Neethlingshof 'Maria' Noble Late Harvest Riesling 2009 another very serious effort
Winemaker Notes
The Maria is the new name for the acclaimed Weisser Riesling Noble Late Harvest and honours Maria Magdalena Marais, the resourceful and feisty young widow who took over the building of the estate’s manor house after the death of her husband, Charles, in 1813.
A single-vineyard wine, The Maria's grapes come from Neethlingshof's Weisser on the Hill vineyard, exposed to the cooling mists of False Bay, which help to create the appropriate set of conditions under which botrytis cinerea (noble rot) can flourish to produce grapes of concentrated intensity
