Palate: Great fruit weight and creaminess with overriding flavours of Meyer lemons and a moreish finish.
The grapes were harvested in the cool of the night to help retain the lovely aromatics that Riesling is famous for. They were then crushed into a skin contact vessel for 45 minutes to increase flavour. The free run juice was then drained from the skins, with some light pressings to a tank for wild fermentation. After minimal winemaking intervention, the wine was stabilised and filtered, ready for bottling

The Barossa Valley is one of the major regions in Australia, where many of the major wine companies are based. It is believed the first vineyards were planted in the 1840s by Silesian migrants (who settled in Bethany). There followed a rapid expansion of plantations. The early styles of wines produced were heavy dry red wines and fortified wines that were popular both domestically and in Britain. After the Second World War the styles shifted to lighter table wines with production of Chardonnay, Riesling, Semillon, Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz. The Barossa Valley is home to some very well known names such as Seppelt, Wolf Blass and Penfolds as well as many smaller producers. The climate is Mediterranean with hot dry summers and cool wet winters, making it ideal for viticulture. The main wine styles: White – Semillon, Riesling, Chardonnay, Semillon-Chardonnay blend; Red – Shiraz (full bodied & ripe) with Old Vine Shiraz a speciality of many vineyards, Cabernet Sauvignon, Grenache, Shiraz-Grenache-Mataro blend, Cabernet-Merlot blend.
