2017 Stonegarden Riesling
Grape Variety: 100% Riesling
Origin: Single vineyard wines from the distinguished Stonegarden vineyard in the Eden Valley, with old vine heritage and limited production. The wines produced from this special piece of history are something to behold, with Shiraz contributing to a Jimmy Watson Trophy winner. Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, Grenache and Riesling while singing their respective varietal character, have a common vineyard thread of beautiful aromatics and subtle minerality.
Sub Region: Springton, Eden Valley
Winemaking: Cool fermented under 14 degrees in stainless steel tanks over several weeks, gentle pressing and 100% free run juice.
The Wine: Subtle lime leaf, lemongrass and white blossoms combine with lemon sherbet to give a bright and complex aroma. Flavours of Meyer lemon are shared with grapefruit and lemon pith astringency plus a textural element not always associated with Australian Riesling. The natural acidity gives verve and energy, whilst the slate stone minerality leaves you salivating for more..
Cellaring: Up to ten years.
