The Wine:
The ‘Dual Citizen’ Riesling is the embodiment of the founding spirit of TOPE – to create unique wines that have a purity of fruit that resonates to the place that they came from. This philosophy is carried into the winery today as the versatile nature of the Riesling variety is hand crafted into yet another beautiful style. With an identical clone of Riesling, on a common parallel and even at the same altitude, Duel Citizen vineyard sits on the Eastern Ridge facing west while its counterpart the 100 Osmond vineyard sits on the Western ridge facing north-east. This has created a true second passport for this delicate and malleable grape variety.
The pale-yellow wine has a bright clarity. Aromatically intense, lifted notes of sweetened lemon juice and white florals overlay subtle notes of honey suckle and fennel seed. These aromas pair perfectly with soft marmalade like citrus flavours that are carried broad and long across the palate by an enveloping peach like acidity. Palate coating, the wine is balanced between the small amount natural sugars, softened acid and time on lees. The wine while intense in flavour while dry on the palate with subtle flavours that leaves the palate refreshed.
