“Our Clare Valley vineyards are producing consistently superb quality fruit”Andrew Nugent

HoneySuckle Riesling 2009

CLARE VALLEY

The Clare Valley is perfectly suited to the production of world class Riesling. 

The hand-picked fruit is sourced from some of the highest altitude vineyards in the district.  The berries are harvested earlier to retain a higher natural acidity and then whole bunch pressed to extract only the purest juice.

Honeysuckle Riesling is extremely limited and made in a slightly sweeter style by stopping the fermentation early.  A long cool ferment retains the sweet floral aromas and delicate lime & mineral flavours.

This wine is made in a style that is best consumed while young, fresh and vibrant.  With bright acidity and low alcohol, it is a great wine to pair with spicy food.
