"Fuller almost light straw colour. Light florals and lemon citrus. A broad, fuller generous palate, with a pleasant chalky, crunch to the finish."

Eden Valley, South Australia
Cool-climate Eden Valley is no lush farmland with gently undulating hills: its rugged, windswept terrain and steeply sloping gradients are peppered with rocky outcrops and gnarled gum trees. Eden Valley’s ancient soils and its varied topography nourish a range of distinctive, aromatic and elegant wines. Traditional grape growing in the region focuses on sustainability and authenticity.
The 2018 growing season in Eden Valley was generally dry with above average temperatures. This vines held up well to the warmer weather over the harvest period allowing them to reach optimum maturity. A very good Eden Valley Riesling vintage.
