Not Your Grandma’s Riesling
A wine making a statement as bold and as stylish label!
The Eden Valley is a unique region where the Riesling vine can interpret the rocky soils with an extraordinary interplay of floral aromas, steely minerality and lemon and lime acidity.
This expressive grape rewards winemaking restraint to deliver detailed and compelling flavours. The resulting wine retains a purity of fruit that accurately reflects how delicious the ripe grapes are on the vine.
Minimal intervention winemaking emphasises pure structured fruit and utilises the lost art of judicious small batch blending. Not Your Grandma’s Riesling epitomises the new style of the Barossa and Eden Valleys.
An aromatic lift of lemongrass and lime combines with a light spritz on the palate, which delivers quite powerful fruit with a lovely length and a minerality and apple blossom finish.
