Winemaker Dan has had a long love affair with Riesling dating back to a stewardship under the Zen Master John Vickery. Dan's longstanding industry contacts afford him the first look at small, often unknown Eden Valley vineyards. The secret of our success with Riesling is sourcing pristine fruit and gentle handling. This wine has hints of lime on the nose, a beautiful punch of fruit purity on the palate, soft and restrained acidity and an amazing long, dry finish. Oysters please!

  Whole berry is pressed in the pneumatic press, with the juice then treated gently with antioxidant coverage of dry ice (CO2) and chilled immediately to well below zero. Held in this manner for nearly two weeks to fully settle the juice, the solids were racked away to leave a bright fresh juice. This was then allowed to slowly warm and naturally ferment in conjunction with the addition of bentonite clay to aid stabilisation and assist in aromatic protection. Following a 20-day cool ferment, the wine was again chilled and separated from the solids. An addition of Cream of Tartar works to pull proteins and unstable elements from the wine, leaving it bright & fresh and no signs of cloudiness from the natural wild ferment.
