2004 Berton Vineyard Riesling
Eden Valley is a region of rugged beauty. The poor soils, lots of rocky outcrops and cool climate provides ideal growing conditions for Riesling, giving distinctive varietal flavour and characteristics.
This wine is pale straw with tinges of green and displays aromas of green apple, citrus blossom and hints of lychees. The palate show intense flavours of fresh lime and lemon zest that persist in the lovely zingy finish.

WINEMAKER James Ceccato
VINTAGE Vintage saw the start of 2004 being mild and windy. January was the coolest since 1992 and the vines thrived virtually no heat stress. February was hot, but March returned glorious sunny days and cold dewy nights with a couple of minor rain events, allowing the fruit to ripen under perfect conditions.
FOOD MATCH Perfect with Asian style salad and seafood or simply anytime!
CELLARING This wine has been made to drink now but will cellar for 5 years.
