Tasting Notes
Palate
The wine shows powerful fruit and texture with citrus, lemon
and grapefruit together with a textural, minerally and dry
finish.
Vinification
During the 2023 vintage, to counter the high acids I allowed
the Riesling a slow but full malo-lactic fermentation on lees
in neutral oak & stainless steel with no sulphur until
bottling. This is not a traditional technique for Eden Valley
Riesling but instead gives a balance and softness to the wine
without requiring loads of sugar to offset the acid. It also
allows lower use of preservative. Win/Win.
Vintage Notes
We have been incredibly lucky with Rieslings from Eden
Valley over the last 4 vintages. The weather has been mild
and the lack of any severe heat events helps with retention of
acidity and long, slow ripening for complexity. 2023 was the
last of 3 ‘La Nina’ years in a row for Australia.
Food Matching
Drink with roast chicken or fish with white sauce.
