Vineyards
Great Southern region. This region comprises many small districts that have diverse soil qualities. Thanks to the terroir quality and soil richness, this region is known for producing the highest quality of Riesling in Australia. However, this place also grows some scintillating reds.
Recognised by many as Australia’s newest high-quality Riesling region, this region encompasses a spectrum of sub-districts that are delivery remarkably delicious and often age-worthy wines of tremendous success.
Vinification
Neutral yeast was used for the fermentation in order to retain the inherent fruit characters. Besides, as little intervention as possible is made in order to produce a varietally pure, excellent, early to mid-term drinking wine.
Tasting Notes
Softly textured, crisp, dry, lemon-lime fruited wine with a fine line of acidity.
Delicious with lighter, fresher Vietnamese or Thai dishes, particularly spring rolls and fish cakes.
