Blue Quarry Riesling Eden Valley 2023
This wine was carefully selected from our Eden Valley Riesling vineyard in the Flaxman Valley sub-region. It has all the hallmarks of great riesling. A tight zesty nose of cut limes and jasmine followed by a palate of juicy acidity, citrus, florals and wet stones provides a wine of racy intensity and length.
The fruit from our Batten vineyard was picked in the cool early hours of the morning and rushed to the winery for immediate crushing and pressing. The first drainings from the press were separated and only when the juice ran pure green and brimming with fresh citrus fruit was the selection for this wine made. Press was cut again at very low pressure and extraction to ensure only the 'heart' of the juice was taken. A cool ferment in stainless steel followed to retain character and aromatics.
