Tasting Notes

Maturation

Aged on lees for 11 months with zero sulfer.

Palate

Honey, brine, a fino sherry sort of thing here, mint, cinnamon and apple. It’s tangy and tastes kind of golden (synesthetes may get that), a chalky mouth-feel, weighty flavour, brown lime, pie apple with a salty pastry, a quinine-like bitterness in tow, and a fleshy finish of good length.

Vinification

Hand-picked fruit, fermented in neutral oak. 100% malo-lactic fermentation

Vintage Notes

The 2022 Rieslings from Eden Valley are highlighted by their unusually high acidity. The cause was, of course, a growing season that lived in the eye of Australia’s ‘La Nina’. Yields were average due to healthy rains during winter and spring.

Winemakers Comments

During the 2020 vintage, I decided to take a completely different approach to winemaking with Riesling. Long, cool and mild growing conditions have allowed the wine a long, slow but full malo-lactic fermentation on lees in oak with no need for sulphur until bottling. This is not a traditional, delicate style of Eden Valley Riesling but instead a naturally rich and powerful expression of its unique site in Flaxman Valley. The wine shows powerful fruit and texture with citrus, pine-apple, lemon and grapefruit together with a textural, minerally and dry finish. Drink with roast chicken or fish with white sauce.
