Description
The Skilly Ridge vineyard, planted by the Ingham family in 1994 produces an array of exciting varietal characteristics from each of the different planted varieties. Much thought was given to where each variety would be planted, and this saw the Riesling block thrive on a mixture of clay, loam and shale with an ideal easterly aspect.
For nearly 30 years, this vineyard has been meticulously cared for, attention being paid to shoot positioning, sun exposure and ideal canopy size. This careful management has produced fruit that earns a home in a special release wine.
This wine is enjoyable with or without food and will develop gracefully for up to 15 years.
Winemaking Notes
Only free-run juice was used to make this premium Clare Valley Riesling, ensuring astringent characters were avoided.
Harvested in the crisp early morning, the fruit was immediately crushed, chilled, de-juiced and then traditionally clarified. The individual parcel of Riesling was fermented for two weeks at 12–140C using aromatic, but neutral cultured yeast.
Cold settling, extended time on lees and a single filtration ensures true expression of the delicate Riesling characters with minimal intervention, made in the most natural way. Minimal sulphur has been used in the production of this wine.
Growing Conditions
The 2022 Skilly Ridge Riesling has floral, perfume and citrus aromatics and a seamless palate with a richness of flavour built from the cool, dry ripening conditions of the vintage. Produced using only free-run juice, fruit flavours are kept pure. The resultant wine mirrors the berries tasted in the vineyard at harvest.
Food Pairing
Fresh seafood.
