2013 Heirloom Vineyards Riesling, Eden Valley

Heirloom Vineyards was conceived in vintage 2000, when a young winemaking student caught the eye of a silly old wine judge. A love story ensued inspired by two vows: To preserve the best of tradition, the old world of wine and our unique old vineyards and to champion the best clones of each variety planted in the most appropriate sites embracing the principals of organic and biodynamic farming. Seven long vintages of trial and error passed before Heirloom Vineyards could make a wine that was fine enough to pass on to future generations. That is this wine.

Bright, light straw-green; the pure lime-infused bouquet leads into an immaculately balanced and structured palate, citrus and apple flavours set within a wreath of stoney, minerally acidity. Give it 5 years to really strut its stuff.
