The Winemaking  The grapes used in this wine underwent  gentle crushing, temperature controlled  fermentation and basket pressing prior to  bottling.  Chief Winemaker Chester Osborn  The Vintage  The cool, wet 2022 winter filled the subsoil,  while spring’s heavy rainfall impacted yields.  Shaded basal buds and reduced fruitfulness  from the previous season resulted in small  yields. Mild, dry summer caused late  veraison. Despite a week of intense heat  in February, most vines survived. Riesling  started three weeks late, and McLaren  Vale Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc  ripened with low yields due to the heat wave.  Autumn was mild, and red grape harvest  followed McLaren Vale Chardonnay, with  variable, mostly low yields. Fiano, Marsanne,  Roussanne, and Viognier ripened alongside  the reds. Only 100 tonnes of red varieties  remained by Easter, with low yields in  Adelaide Hills Chardonnay and Pinot. Dry  white Chardonnay vineyards were used for  sparkling wine, promising a great year.  The Wine  This bright Riesling offers a remarkable  experience with its crisp character, balanced  by zesty acidity. Notes of green apple and  lemon on the palate provide a slightly sweet  yet crisp finish. A touch of sweetness, and a  rich, juicy flavour profile, with fine acidity  providing a sharp crispness to the finish.  Great value for it’s price point.
