This dry Riesling has a delicate pale yellow colour with brilliant flashes of green hues. It has a distinct mineral steeliness and displays vibrant lemon and lime aromas with hints of jasmine and orange blossom. The delicate aromatics follow onto the palate which is dominated by the racy citrus tang of lime and grapefruit with subtle hints of crushed herbs and fragrant petals. A perfect partner to fresh oysters, prawns, crab or smoked salmon. Enjoy it lightly chilled while young, crisp and exciting!
Dry Riesling is a truly captivating experience and one of my personal favourites. Something of a forgotten hero, it has style, sophistication and elegance.
Eden Valley is a distinct cool climate region renowned for producing crisp, dry, aromatic expressions of this variety. The ancient geological structures and high elevation are perfect for the subtle, steely characteristics of Riesling. This wine is from a single vineyard near Colin Hayes famous Lindsay Park racing stables. The fruit was hand-picked and the wine made at nearby Thorn Clarke winery near Angaston. An early ripening variety, it meant we were able to pick the fruit in pristine condition before the onset of the heat-wave that affected much of the 2008 vintage.
