Riesling
-
Citrus with delicate floral notes, crisp vibrant acidity perfectly balanced by a touch of sweetness. This wine expresses its unique cool climate origin and whilst drinking beautifully now, is built for distance and will reward careful cellaring.

By Good FoodRhine Valley move over. In the cold 2011 season, Braidwood’s Half Moon vineyard produced riesling of gum-searing acidity. That’s not a bad thing, though, as the acidity accentuates the limey, grapefruit-like varietal flavour. And winemaker Alex McKay balanced the acidity with residual grape sugar – much as Rhine and Moselle makers do in their traditional styles.The result is an intense, taut, racy, light-bodied wine, featuring a delicious tension between the acidity and delicate sweetness.
Original reviewHalfmoon Wines Strikes Silver
By Braidwood Times, 1st December 2010At the Small Vignerons Wine Show, Halfmoon Wines was awarded Silver for their 2010 Riesling. They also scored Bronze medals in the Canberra Region Wine Show and also in the Canberra Riesling Challenge.In 2008 it was decided to try and get a wine maker in the Canberra area to make the wines. Prior to this the grapes were taken to Wine Maker David Lowe in Mudgee who was wine maker for Tony Maxwells vineyard up there. Enquiries were made and they struck gold in the form of Canberra wine maker Alex McKay of Collector Wines, he came out to the Halfmoon Vineyard and said because of the unique position and vineyard setup that he would take us onboard, because of the small grape harvest that year because of previous frost he suggested that we make a blend of Riesling and Pinot Gris and the Two Vines wine came about. With frost protection in place the 2010 vintage was the best to date and Chardonnay, Two Vines, Pinot Gris, Riesling, and Shiraz Viognier, were made the present year is shaping up good and if everything goes to plan we will have another good vintage.
2010 Half Moon Riesling
By Winewise Volume 27 Number 3 August 2010This is a racey, limey riesling in which the steely acidity is balanced by a touch of sweetness. However, it is, appropriately, the fruit that drives the vibrant palate. Delicious drinking.
