Named after the Andesite volcanic origin soil that pre-dominates in the vineyard. A blend of Riesling, Pinot Gris and Gewurztraminer, Andesite is a homage to the traditional and much loved blend in the Alsatian region of France. These varieties of often interplanted within the same vineyard in Alsace and make lovely, aromatic wines that are both attractive in their youth but can gain greater complexity with bottle age.

Shanteh Wale Halliday Wine Companion 2026: “This is a wine as delectable as it is fragrant. It gives off aromas of an Asian fruit display. Rambutans,  mangosteen, star fruit and calamansi limes. Orchids and tiger lillies, pandan and fresh coconut. The wine is stitched together, with threads from each variety discernible, but the wine is greater than the sum of its parts. Pinpoint acidity meets luscious fruit sweetness and a mesh of grippy phenolics. This is an exciting wine from start to finish and the love of aromatic varieties is on full display.”

Alc – 12.3% pH - 3.29 TA – 7.1gL RS – 4.6gL

Very appealing young and fresh. However, this wine will evolve in the cellar for a good decade.
