Notes

Style

Delicate florals with crystalline flavours of orange blossom, lime cordial and pear add flavour to the mouthwatering acidity. Texture and depth are hallmarks of the 2024 season.

Season

Cool and wet conditions during flowering interrupted berry set, resulting in smaller, lighter bunches. The remainder of the season was mostly mild and dry, with a few well-timed rain events supporting vine growth and health. The result was low yields, high acidity and great flavour. Despite early season challenges, later ripening varieties like Riesling benefitted from a drier than average end to the growing season resulting in one of the best years for Riesling we’ve seen in recent times.

Source

From high and cool sites in Lenswood and Mt Torrens.

Vinification

Our Riesling grapes are hand-picked and pressed gently. A portion of the juice spends time in contact with skins before fermenting cool in stainless steel. We avoid oak, instead opting for fruit purity and balance.

Serve

A great aperitif or drink with fish and chips. Ideal temperature is 6-8°C.

Cellar

Will reward careful cellaring for up to 15 years.
