Hutton Vale Farm Riesling 2022

Colin Angas was quick to realise the potential for the Eden Valley to be an exceptional region for Riesling and planted a vineyard on a gentle slope in the 1960’s. Whilst considered a single vineyard, there are two distinct sections. The top section planted on the leanest soils and more exposed to the wind produces very tightly structured fruit with crisp, vibrant acidity. The bottom section, on deeper, more vigorous red soils produces plumper bunches of fruit that showcases more fresh aromatics and citrus zing.

A balmy vintage in 2022 led to perfect growing conditions for Eden Valley Riesling with high quality fruit resulting in a classic Hutton Vale wine. Fermented cool over a 14-day period in stainless steel, the resulting wine jumps out of the glass with vitality. 

Zesty and driven, the fresh citrus fruit is lifted by perfumed delicate florals and struck flint. A zip of acidity on the palate balances well the generosity of fruit, with a long and textured finish. Drink cold on a hot day for maximum refreshment or, if you have the patience, squirrel a few away to be rewarded over the next 5-10 years.
