Burge Family Winemakers Riesling, Eden Valley

The Eden Valley is renowned for producing some of Australia’s most disciplined and age-worthy Riesling. This wine originates from high-altitude vineyards where cooler temperatures and skeletal quartz soils allow for a long ripening period. This environment preserves the natural acidity of the grape, which is essential for the structure and longevity of the final product.

The winemaking process focuses on fruit purity. Grapes are harvested in the cool of the morning and pressed immediately. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to maintain the primary fruit profile. The wine is bottled early, without oak, ensuring the site's characteristics remain the primary focus.

The nose delivers aromas of lime zest, green apple, and white flowers. On the palate, the wine is bone-dry and lean, showing flavours of lemon and grapefruit. A sharp mineral acidity drives the finish, delivering a clean, crisp mouthfeel. This Riesling offers significant value for those looking to cellar a classic Australian white.
