Eden Valley Riesling

edenvalleyriesling (9K) The Eden Valley, situated in the hills region of Barossa is Australia's most celebrated area for the growing of the Riesling grape. The combination of warm days and cool nights contributes to a long, slow ripening period, typically producing a crisp, firm, austere style with powerful lime and lemon citrus flavours.

Only the finest parcels of grapes from our Eden Valley growers are chosen for this wine, with all fruit handpicked and then immediately crushed, cool fermented and bottled so as to retain the fresh aromatic flavours of the variety.

Typically the St Hallett Eden Valley Riesling displays lifted floral and lime blossom characters on the nose which follow through onto the palate which is crisp and fine. Supported by a refreshing, steely acidity this wine is an ideal accompaniment to seafood, in particular freshly shucked oysters.

Alternatively if cellared for five to eight years the wine will develop a rich toasty character.
