The Reserve Eden Valley Riesling 2019

The Zander “Quarry” block is in the gentle undulating hills of the Flaxman Valley, a sub region of Eden Valley. A parcel from this vineyard was selected and vinified separately for our 2019 Reserve wine as it showed incredible fruit purity and tight acidity. The ‘Quarry Block’ has an altitude of 450m with the rows running north south, and an east facing aspect. A very dry winter and spring, with hailstorms and extreme heat lead to greatly reduced yields for the 2019 vintage, but despite these weather conditions the Riesling from Eden Valley had good natural acidity and beautiful flavours.
