St Hallett Riesling, Eden Valley

Name: St Hallett Riesling, Eden Valley
SKU: 35059

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 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.
