Winemaking

It was an exceptional year for this small parcel of Eden Valley Riesling. Handpicked and whole bunch pressed, using only the best free run juice and fermenting at cool temperatures allows us to create this delicate floral wine. The wine was fermented dry, filtered and bottled.

Winemaker's Notes

The 2023 Estate Riesling is a classic Eden Valley style Riesling. Dry, with beautiful acidity and a fresh and crisp mouthfeel. An elegant wine that is ready to drink now but will also age well over time.

Food Pairing

Grilled fresh seafood medley, sushi & sashimi or aglio e olio.

Vintage Conditions

The 2023 vintage brought about just above-average rainfall, initiating a cool and wet season that led to delayed flowering compared to the usual timing. As the vintage approached, the cool weather persisted, with temperatures lower than average. Consequently, the ripening periods were significantly slower, enabling enhanced fruit development and acid retention within the vineyard. The combination of the colder and wetter season led to low yields but increased concentration, ultimately contributing to the wines' remarkable intensity.
