Pale in colour with a vibrant green hue. Lifted aromas of citrus blossom, lemon and jasmine flower with a touch of dried herb. Youthfully attractive with lemon and lime zest and fresh green apple. Some dried herb and perfume add complexity to the fine mineral acidity. The backbone has a flinty character and a touch of slate. The natural fruit acidity highlights the wines ability to age gracefully over time.
The Riesling is sourced from a single vineyard in the cool climate, high altitude region of Eden Valley in the Barossa ranges. The grapes were individually picked out in the vineyards for their exceptional quality and picked separately to the rest of the vineyard. To ensure the grapes were harvested at optimum flavour and acid balance, the ripening of the grapes was monitored with regular berry tasting in the lead up to picking, then harvested in the cool of the night. After crushing and must chilling, the free run juice was drained and clarified with minimum skin contact. This juice was then cool fermented between 13 – 15C with selected yeast to enhance the delicate Riesling flavours. The wine was bottled with a screw cap closure to retain the pristine aromas and flavours.
Ready to be enjoyed now and will have a great lifespan which will enable it to be drunk over the next 5 years for those that enjoy aged style Riesling.

"Elegant and beautifully poised, the wine shows lemon peel, green apple and white floral nuances on the nose. The palate is linear and finely flowing with excellent fruit purity backed by racy acidity, finishing long and mouth-watering. The wine offers beautiful clarity and finesse, offering charming drinking. At its best: 2024 to 2032. $23.00."

"Lovely aromas of flowers, apples and citrus. Zesty lemon like flavours fill out the palate with appealing texture and crisp acid finish."
Stuart Knox - The Real Review
"Ultra pale in the glass. Fragrant nose of talc, lime curd and white florals. Soft and supple on the palate, with generous tropical lime fruit and a sweet floral element. Flows well."
