Wagner Caywood East is a long, lean, windswept site with an extreme slope and bands of varied soils. The common thread among vintages from this site is a liveliness within the wine, an energy that the French would call nervosité.
This superb Riesling has an almost piercing concentration and depth of flavour, with aromas of lime, passion fruit, fresh white flowers and an undercurrent of savoury minerality. Despite the sunny conditions of the vintage, this is a tightly wound wine with plenty of extract and breadth balanced by fresh acidity that draws the wine to an impressively long finish. The grapes come from a 5.7-hectare site at nearly 300 metres elevation where the shale soils provide tiny yields of highly concentrated grapes.
