Tasting Notes

Passionfruit, pear and apple aromas and flavours are backed up by lovely intense lemon-lime with a slatey, mineral dry finish, typical of the Hanlin Hill

Vineyard.

"Bright and tangy, brimming with lemon, pineapple and mayflower flavors, lingering easily on the generous, focused finish. Drink now through 2018." Wine Spectator, 91 Points

Vinification Details.

De-stemmed, crushed & chilled to less than 5C & then pressed in Willmes tank presses. Cold settled in stainless steel then racked to fermentation tanks. Fermentation was monitored over six weeks at a temperature of 10C to 13C. A gentle filtration preceded bottling.

Producer Information

Petaluma is one of Australia's most important producers, famous for seeking out the finest terroirs in South Australia rather than taking a one-site-fits-all approach to its grapes. Riesling (one of Australia-s very best) comes from the Hanlin Hill vineyard in the Clare Valley, Chardonnay from the cool climate Piccadilly Valley in the Adelaide Hills and Cabernet from Coonawarra. Andrew 'Ox' Hardy, a member of the original Hardy wine family and a walking encyclopaedia of South Australian wine, is now the man at the helm, ensuring these vineyards have a very exciting future.

Regional info.

This Riesling comes from Hanlin Hill vineyard planted in 1969 in the Clare Valley. This is one of the great areas in the world for Riesling. The secret to why Clare has such a great mesoclimate for producing Riesling is diurnal temperature difference, warm days cool nights.
