1 x Tar & Roses Lewis Riesling 2022 - Central Victoria, Australia

96/100 Jeni Port, Halliday Wine Companion 

5 Star - James Halliday

Jeni Port, Halliday Wine Companion "The late Don Lewis was a star riesling winemaker. This wine named in his honour lives up to the Lewis style in both fruit concentration and class and is a fine follow-up to the excellent 2021 vintage. At once delicate and floral but with a solid core of pure, intense lime and citrus. A pitch-perfect riesling embracing a touch of savoury lemongrass, a pinch of spice and a brisk sherbety tingle set to some racy acidity."

Tar & Roses style of wines reflects the multi-region of Spain, Italy and Australia, as well as traditional winemaking alongside the new. All Tar & Roses wines are made using fruit grown in Heathcote, Strathbogie Ranges, Alpine Valley, King Valley and Priorat, Spain.

While these immensely popular varieties have conquered every corner of the winegrowing world, Riesling is conspicuously absent from the core wine regions of France, Spain and Italy. Riesling's home is the regions that trace the middle Rhine and the lower Mosel, two of Europe's great wine rivers.

Château Montcabrier is a vineyard of the Milhade family estate, Château Recougne, located on the right bank of Bordeaux, in the Fronsadais. This property has produced wine for more than 400 years, and has always been recognized for producing outstanding wine. Its name is said to have come from French King Henri IV, in “recognition” (‘recougne’) of the quality of its wine. The Milhade family purchased the property in the mid 1930s, and Château Recougne has become their flagship estate, producing quintessential Bordeaux each vintage. The work of several generations has positioned Château Recougne as one of the key estates for Bordeaux Supérieur Red wines. The Château Montcabrier’s grapes, harvested and vinified separately from Chateau Recougne, come predominantly from clay and sandy soils and offer a refined style dominated by the freshness of fruits. 

Merlot is best suited to the gravelly clay terroir and is the majority planting here, comprising about 80% of the vineyard, complemented by equal parts of both Cabernets. The parcels set aside for Moncabrier include those planted on marley clay, with less gravel, and younger vines throughout the estate. The Milhades employ environmentally friendly viticultural techniques, minimal spraying, low yields through green harvesting, and excellent canopy management.
