Description

Heirloom Vineyards is a “highly impressive” (Halliday) winemaking juggernaut that works closely with the finest vineyard owners throughout South Australia. To craft a wine of this quality, virtuoso winemaker Elena Brooks hand-selected old-vine fruit from her favourite vineyards in two corners of the Eden Valley - insisting on cool ferments and free-run juice to maximise fruit intensity and length.

“Eden Valley riesling as quintessential as it could be. Aromas of lemon, grapefruit, honeysuckle and beeswax. Characteristically, it’s still a little stern on the palate. It tastes of the place it’s from. The citrus flavours are muted, but the underlying depth is evident, the slatey acidity guiding it along ... 95 points” (Halliday).
