Kirrihill Regional Series Riesling -The 2024 estate grown Regional Riesling shows a bright and intense bouquet of citrus and orange blossoms, with a generous mouthfeel and flavours which offer a vibrant explosion of lemon and tropical fruit.
Good winter rains were followed by a cool spring and a well above average warm and dry summer which enabled the Riesling fruit to ripen in a consistent manner and express well developed and expressive flavour profiles.
With the Riesling grapes picked in the early morning, when the temperatures are at their coolest, crushing and pressing of the chilled fruit occurred immediately with the aim of limiting any skin contact. After cold settling, the clean racked juice was then fermented in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks. It was then chilled immediately after fermentation to retain and protect the varietal aromas to remain pristine until bottling early August 2024.
Founded in 1998 by long-time friends and locals, Sean Edwards and Rob Stanway, the focus at Kirrihill is on the pursuit of growing the best quality fruit possible, whilst managing the vineyards sustainably and respecting the individual sites. The micro-climates within the three small valleys that make up the Clare Valley region provide their winemakers with a diversity of fruit selections to produce expressive wines of purity and intrigue, particularly aromatic Rieslings, which speak profoundly of their place.
Sitting atop the ‘Golden Mile’, a stretch of rare terra rossa soil, their highly prized Schobers Vineyard is one of the most distinguished red wine producing vineyards in Australia. Contour planted on rolling hills at the southern tip of Clare Valley, Schobers Vineyard has consistently produced Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon wines of great complexity, which are rich in concentration with distinctive Clare Valley character.
