  • Mouthwatering aromas of lemon, grapefruit juice, lime, and white flowers combine with a lick of mineral, wet slate. Refreshing and intense, the generosity of flavour shows all the hallmarks of Watervale Riesling, perfectly balanced by zesty acidity. Vinified unintrusively to allow the Riesling to reflect its origins.

The grapes were harvested in the cool of the night to minimise oxidation and phenolic extraction and preserve the flavours in the juice. The fruit was immediately pressed without any skin contact and settled for 24 to 48 hours. The juice was racked off its solids, and a cool fermentation took place at 14 - 16°C with selected yeasts, lasting for two to three weeks. Vinified unintrusively to allow the Riesling to reflect its origins. 

Mouthwatering aromas of lemon, grapefruit juice and lime combine with a lick of minerality. The generosity of flavour shows all the hallmarks of Watervale Riesling, perfectly balanced by a zesty finish.

The Watervale Riesling grapes come from a special part of the famed Florita vineyard in Watervale, in the Clare Valley. The Mediterranean climate has a high diurnal temperature difference; the cool nights lead to the preservation of crisp natural acidity and delicate flavours. The vines are planted on the south or east-facing slopes, best suited to Riesling as they are shielded from the hot northerly summer winds. Instead, they receive the cooler morning sun. The vines are trained on a single cordon with two bud spurs to promote even canopy growth, encourage shade and avoid fruit crowding to reduce disease risk. The foliage is managed with a partial VSP to maximise shade on the northern and western sides of the rows and allow air and dappled sunlight in on the south and eastern sides. Irrigation encourages even ripening, and under-vine mulching inhibits weed competition and preserves soil moisture.
