St Hallett Riesling, Eden Valley

The higher altitude of the Eden Valley, about 700 metres above sea level, makes for cool nights and mild daytime temperatures ideal for producing wines with fresh acidity. The grapes are harvested in the early hours of the morning, pressed cold and the juice fermented in stainless steel. Fermentation runs for two to three weeks at around 13°C to preserve the delicate fruit characters of the variety. Shows aromas of flint and spice intermingled with lemon flowers and lime peel, the palate is vibrant with citrus and minerally notes.
