From the Winery

The grapes for this wine were sourced Angove family vineyards and other premium Riverland growers. Soils are
predominantly red sandy loam over limestone, on gently undulating east west ridges. This year has been great for aromatic varietal expression, with many of the white varieties harvested later but with lower alcohol levels than in previous years. White varieties also benefi ted from a juicy natural acidity contributing to excellent palate weight and flavour persistence overall.

Picked late at night to harvest the grapes as cold as possible, the grapes were transported to the winery and pressed using modern membrane tank presses. After cold settling the clear juice was carefully racked to cooled fermentation tanks and inoculated with selected yeasts. Cool fermentation was followed by minimal handling filtration and bottling at the Angove winery

Awards and Accolades

Ross Noble, Mount Barker Courier
"A fresh youngster with aromas and flavours of green apple and nashi pear made in the crisp, early-picked Italian style."

“Either 2014 was a fabulous year in the Riverland or this is just fabulous value for your Mary Gilmore/Bank Paterson...or both perhaps."
