Winemaking Notes

The Riesling parcels that made it to this typical Clare Valley Riesling were harvested during the coolest part of the day and the fruit crushed, de-stemmed and pressed off skins as soon after. The resulting juice was then cold settled, racked off lees and inoculated with selected yeast strains that respect and express the terroir and the delicate character of the variety. After a steady fermentation at cold temperatures (12-16⁰C) for approximately 2 weeks, the wine was stabilised and filtered off lees ready for bottling.
