Vineyard
Our vineyard situated at Light Pass in the Northeast Barossa Valley, has an elevation just shy of 300m. Eden Valley, only a couple of km`s away to our East is where the North Para River rises and flows out of the hills through our vineyard, bringing cooling gully breezes during the summer months-perfect for growing fine, delicate, zesty `Rizza`!
Vintage 2023/24
After a late 2023 vintage, 2024 proved to be the opposite. A dry winter and spring made the vines work during the early part of the growing season. Bud burst occurred about 3 weeks earlier than previous year. Beautiful clear spring days were followed with some cold, frosty nights. Our Riesling vineyard was touched by early frost but recovered remarkably well! December and January weather saw vines flourish. 2024 quality across the board looks exceptional… Riesling a standout!
Winemaking
Picked early in the season to retain natural acidity and delicacy. Promptly pressed, taking free run juice only. Bright clarified juice is fermented cool before stabilization, and into bottle.
Tasting Notes
In the glass the wine shows a bright pale straw colour with green hues. Aromatically the wine opens with delicately lifted florals, lemon zest and some Granny Smith crunch. A pure line of citrus lingers, its finely textured, crisp, and refreshing on the palate. A wine to enjoy now or over the next few years.
