Tasting Note
Very pale with green tints. Lifted aromas of grapefruit, orange blossom, banana and bath salts. Zesty lemon and lime drive a pure, mineral palate with bright acidity and a long, chalky finish.

Food Pairing
Crispy-skin barramundi, grilled white fish, oysters, ceviche, roast chicken with lemon, goat’s cheese; Asian: sashimi/sushi, steamed fish with ginger & soy, Thai green curry, spicy Szechuan tofu.

Production Method
Fruit from a dry-grown single site; cool fermentation in stainless steel with minimal lees contact and low intervention to preserve aromatics; bottled to retain freshness.

Vineyard Info
Burkes Hill is a small, single-site vineyard just outside Eden Valley on an east-facing slope. Acquired and managed by Rob Gibson with winemaking input from Andrew Wigan; produces limited, high‑aroma Riesling.
