Tasting Notes
Aroma
Its vibrant bouquet features a complex nose of lychee flesh, fresh cut musk stick, and passionfruit, all wrapped in a lifted citrus bloom.
Maturation
Matured for 3 months in stainless steel. The wine was bottled in July, fresh and bright.
Appearance
The Boy presents in the glass pale straw in colour with a glimmer of green at the rim.
Palate
The palate is electric, grapefruit zest and white nectarine rush across the tongue in a straight, pure line. Grapefruit, green papaya, and a fine mineral dusting that lengthens the finish. The mid-palate has a silken glide, before tightening into a mouth-watering close that begs for another sip. This vintage has delivered a Riesling of precision, freshness, and that quiet power our site consistently reveals. Will drink brilliantly young, but will evolve gracefully.
Vinification
The fruit was hand-picked. No acid added, amazing natural acidity and low pH. The fruit was crushed and the free run was taken with the pressing going elsewhere. The juice was cold settled before inoculation – no lees. Cool and slow fermentation period where it was closely monitored. Wine was fined and filtered before bottling.
Vintage Notes
The 2026 season in Eden Valley was shaped by a mild, even spring and a beautifully timed pattern of early spring rainfall that set the vines up with balanced canopies and excellent soil moisture. Flowering occurred under calm conditions with no major heat spikes, leading to clean bunch formation and good natural acidity.Summer tracked cooler than average, with long daylight hours and cool evenings, ideal for retaining the delicate aromatics that define Riesling. The region avoided the extremes that can rush ripening; instead, we experienced a slow, steady accumulation of flavour, with sugars rising gently and acids holding firm. Harvest arrived later than the previous few vintages, with fruit coming in bright, pristine, and highly perfumed. The combination of mild days and cold nights delivered fruit with vibrancy, aromatic clarity, and that distinctive Eden Valley line of citrus-minerality.
Region Notes
Two Hands 2026 The Boy Riesling is a pure and expressive Eden Valley Riesling, sourced from a remarkable 108-year-old dry grown vineyard to the east on Mengler’s Hill. Perched high above the valley, this special site produces Riesling with exotic aromatics, natural acidity and striking intensity.
