| The Winery Moorilla Estate, a pioneer of the modern Tasmanian wine industry, was established in 1958 by Italian textile merchant, Claudio Alcorso at Berriedale, near Hobart. A thriving company today, Moorilla Estate produces an acclaimed and awarded range of wines that are the epitome of premium, Tasmanian cool climate styles. Fruit for its Estate and Reserve wines is grown in their Tamar and Derwent Valley vineyards. Selected parcels of fruit are also sourced from around the state for Moorilla’s Black Label Regional Range. Along with a modern winemaking facility Moorilla Estate draws visitors from around the world to the tourism attractions of cellar door, restaurant and function centre, luxury accommodation suites, the acclaimed Moorilla Museum of Antiquities and a program of concerts and events in the vineyard grounds. The Wine The world-class cool climate wines, utilising fruit from both the Estate and the St Matthias site in the Tamar Valley, encapsulate the essence of the Tasmanian wine industry, which has been built on quality winemaking techniques and strong varietal character. This vineyards signature varietals include Pinot Noir, Riesling and Gewürztraminer. Moorilla also produces quality Chardonnay, Cabernet and Sauvignon Blanc. Moorilla’s winemaker concentrates on careful handling of pristine fruit combined with minimal intervention to make wine of an exceptional standard. Tasting Notes - Moorilla Estate 2005 Riesling The Estate Riesling is hand picked from mature, un-irrigated vines. It is a highly aromatic displaying intense floral, citrus, and guava on the nose. The explosion of flavour in the mouth is backed by perfectly balanced acid, one of the hallmarks of the season. This wine has length and structure indicating excellent ageing potential of at least 7- 10 years. |
