2019 Reserve Riesling
$35.00

Each year we make a Reserve Riesling from the very best parcel out of one of our four Riesling blocks. This year block 7 was again the stand out.
Bright pale straw with a lifted floral nose of jasmine and rose petals. On the palate there is an immediate hit of lemon sherbet that extends seamlessly into a linear minerality. Beautifully balanced with great length.
An austere, yet elegant Eden Valley Riesling from a difficult, but exceptional vintage. Drink now, but it will cellar for ever!
In a word, the 2019 growing season was – dry! It started off dry and stayed that way. Mother nature challenged the vines with more frosts than usual and a windy flowering period that disturbed fruit set.
To top it all off she threw in a hailstorm on 22 November! Thankfully the punch-drunk vines were given a small reprieve with no extreme temperatures in the ripening period and were put out of their misery with an early, compressed harvest beginning with the whites on 7th March and finishing with Shiraz on 22nd March. The 2019 vintage resulted in our lowest yield on record, but outstanding quality wines across all varieties. Whenever you can find it, grab any 2019 wine from the Barossa/Eden Valley!
