The ?100 Osmond? Riesling is one of the founding pillars of TOPE. From sitting on the back patio in the lingering afternoon sunshine, Tom and Pete would often share a glass of Riesling and be amazed at the beauty of purity of the variety, its ability to reflect the place it was from and intriguing evolution ? able to be drunk young and fresh or allowed to develop a richness and depth with age. The ?100 Osmond? Riesling is crafted with these afternoons in mind.

 Bright and clear, the wine holds a faint pale straw colour that has a fine green tinge to the hue. 

After pouring, the soft aromas immediately fill the glass. Aromas of dehydrated orange and freshly picked grapefruit skin are underpinned by subtle perfumed white blossoms notes.

The soft citrus flavours that mimic the aroma are layered with by soft lime flavour that is carried by green apple acidity. This acidity flows long through the centre of the palate and is complimented by crisp minerality with slate flavours and chalk acidity. This characteristic is naturally occurring from the layered limestone soils of the vineyard. 

This dry yet full bodied style of Riesling is finely balanced with the natural phenolics from the grape; softening the layered and mouth filling structural acidity. The wine while intense in flavour is quite dry on the palate with a long salivating finish that leaves the palate clean and ready for more.
