PRODUCTION
Sourced from the super premium Riesling block of long-term growers Ben Wroxton and William
‘Bunga’ Hurn, located at the northern and central sections of the Eden Valley respectively. These
vineyards possess all the hallmarks of classic Eden Valley Riesling sites – high altitude, shaly, schisty
soil and sparse yet adequate canopy ensuring the fruit remains in optimum condition throughout
ripening. The grapes were picked in the cool of the early morning and transported immediately to the
winery. The fruit was crushed, chilled and drained from the skins, with free-run juice separated as
soon as possible. Juices were fined and cold settled before gently racking off settled solids.
Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks using a neutral yeast strain to preserve and promote
the pristine natural fruit flavours. Following a steady two week fermentation, the wine was clarified
and bottled to retain freshness and purity.
TASTING NOTE
Bright and tangy with a nose of freshly picked limes, lemon meringue and lifted floral aromas. The
palate shows great fruit purity with a juicy natural acid line. Lots of citrus flavours intertwined and a
waxy minerality. Slight fruit sweetness balances the acidity and allows for good length on the finish.
FOOD MATCH
Serve lightly chilled. A wonderful accompaniment to squid or charcoal roasted scallop tortellini with
creamy bacon scallion glaze.
