The block of Riesling situated behind the winery was planted in 1978 on deep sandy clay loams. The block gives great varietal character and can develop good flavour at a low level of sugar ripeness.
Fantastic winter rains set the vineyards up for ideal spring growing conditions that saw great flowering and fruit set. The mild summer conditions and long ripening period (with some timely small rain events) ensured that the fruit matured in near perfect conditions for harvest. 2017 is a classic vintage that has more resemblance to those of the 80s and 90s than the vintages of this century
Very pale straw with silver hints. Lifted lemon blossoms with hints of kaffir lime andmbergamot. Succulent preserved lemon and lime flavours. The ball of fruit sweetness is balanced by the creamy acidity. It finishes fresh and fragrant.
Gloriously juicy and rich yet also pure. It’s going to win the hearts of most who taste it - there is nothing else in AustraIia with this particular flavour and texture.
