The 2016 vintage began with well below-average winter rainfall, followed by a warm
and dry spring, which enhanced flowering and set to give average to above-average yield potential. Low disease pressure was maintained by one of the hottest Decembers on record, though temperatures cooled down in the New Year and rainfall around veraison in late January brought relief to the dry-grown Eden Valley vineyards. This was followed by further rainfall in early March which eased the stress on all varieties. The fruit matured with an earlier harvest, as predicted due to an early Easter. Open, light and airy vine canopies allowed for good flavour, sugar and colour and mature tannins to develop at harvest, which was overall characterised by average yields but very high quality.

Fragrant jasmine, frangipani and almond blossom scents are complemented by musk, stone-fruit and signature Eden Valley riesling aromas of lemon and lime zest.

A soft, succulent palate shows excellent depth and balance, with vibrant
acidity, minerality and a long, focussed finish.

Pale green-gold in colour.

Fermented in tank and bottled post-vintage to preserve the delicate aromatic fruit characters.
