Production
Sourced solely from Ben Zander’s “Wroxton” Vineyard, situated at 500m asl. This vineyard has all the hallmarks of a classic Eden Valley Riesling site – high altitude, shaly, schisty soil and adequate canopy ensuring the fruit remains in optimum condition throughout ripening. The grapes were picked early and cold fermented in stainless steel tanks. Following a two week fermentation period, the wine was clarified and bottled immediately before being cellared at the winery for five years prior to release. Drink now or cellar until 2038.
Tasting notes
Early picking has produced a fresh, lively Riesling with a delicate green tinge and hints of freshly picked limes with just a touch of toast in the background. Fine, linear, alive on the palate with breadth of citrus oil, tang and quickening acidity, minerals and poise. This wine will cellar for many years to come.
Food match
Enjoy with Andrew Wigan’s all time favourite – pan fried, freshly caught King George Whiting matched with crunchy home-cut potato chips, a match made in heaven! Don’t forget the lemon!
