Wrattonbully being slightly warmer has floral notes, whereas Coonawarra has more acidity and citrus fruits. Vintage Note: 2021 was an overall standout vintage. Near perfect ripening condition and cool, mild weather kept the natural acidity of the whites fresh. Harvest decisions were precicely made and optimal balance of ripeness and acidity was achieved.

Cellar for as many years as you can resist, it will only get better. Tasting Note: This Riesling shows intense aromas of citrus, lanolin & a distinctive toasty character. The palate is delicately layered showing lime blossom & a wonderful mouth feel that extends to a crisp finish. Winemaker’s Note: Fresh & fruity in it’s youth, now displaying the unique characteristics & distinguished flavours that a well made Riesling can. This Riesling has been cellared for 7 years before release and will live for another 20 plus. Vintage Note: We had good winter rainfall followed by a warmer than average Spring. This brought forward flowering by two weeks and lead to moderate bunch numbers with small berries. A cool Summer then allowed the vines to catch up and a slow, even ripening period followed. Overall a strong vintage with excellent cellaring potential.
