in the vineyard : Weisser Riesling was hand harvested from cool vineyards near Darling on the west coast some 300 metres above sea level. This bushvine vineyard is unirrigated, and the vines grow on deep red oakleaf soils. The vineyard is 5 years old and this first official harvest yielded only 2 tons of grapes per hectare.
in the cellar : Bunches were hand harvested at 22.8 degrees balling, lightly destalked and crushed. We used only the free run juice, which was allowed to settle for 48 hours. The juice was cold fermented in stainless steel tanks, and fermentation took 14 days. The wine spent 12 weeks on the gross lees prior to being bottled.
