What to Expect

Riesling is a chameleon of a grape, able to produce world class wines that range from bone dry to unctuously sweet. Germany is most closely associated with Riesling, where all styles are made and the range of flavors runs the gamut from steely and crisp with crunchy mineral-driven flavors to fresh lime, apple and peach flavored expressions - even rich honied, candied fruit tones in the great dessert wines.

Winemakers Notes

Here is one of my favorite babies. It is the first of our wines that contains enough fruit from our own barr-Eden vineyard to influence the unique floral flavours of musk and lilac, finishing with typical E.V. citrus lime notes.

We do not ferment Riesling on the property. The fruit is handpicked, held in cold rooms at 2 degrees until we have suitable space and time to whole bunch press at Trevor Jones’ winery in Lyndoch.

Riesling demands quality, balance, elegance, style and cleanliness - we just pick and get the grapes to the right address on time.

“WBM100;
Bob Mclean has made only 250 cases of this CD release and it’s the best wine he has ever put in front of me. The bouquet is zesty with lime juice and creamy white peach aromas but it really comes into its own in its smoothly constructed palate with very controlled integration, pure fruit spicy complexity and fine, minerally structure 94 points”    (hide)
