TASTING NOTES

PALATE
This single vineyard wine retains the pure citrus character of our other rieslings but with a fresh green melon character not found in our other wines.

REGION NOTES
Situated in the picturesque Hall Valley, in the Murrumbidgee River corridor, just outside the ACT, the estate incorporates a modern winemaking facility and a mature 5-hectare vineyard.

VINIFICATION
Consisting of two parcels from our estate vineyard. Grapes were hand harvested at 12 Baume, 80% whole bunch pressed and cool fermented in stainless steel with 20% whole berry fermented in ceramic. The wine was then held on light lees until bottling in June 2022.
