    • Description

      The Enchanted Garden Eden Valley Riesling is made entirely from a vineyard which was planted in 1910 and thrives to this day. Whole bunches were hand picked in early March then destemmed in small batches without crushing the fruit to fill our press exactly. The free run juice was then fermented in small tanks between 11 and 14 degrees Celcius, the wine has a high level of natural acidity, 7.8 grams per litre, a pH of 2.88 and although bone dry, only 11.5% alcohol. With classic Riesling aromatics of citrus zest, lemon foliage and hints of dragon fruit flowers, etched by a clear steely minerality this wine holds the promise of a future, well-cellared bouquet of honey, caraway and rye. On the palate the wine has a weight that is all fresh rain water, this is an attractively textural Riesling displaying the variety’s intense purity. Bone dry, its structure and length is underpinned by racy acidity.

    This wine has potential. A bit young for drinking at the moment is my thoughts.
    Store for another 24 months to allow it to mellow out the crispness
