100% Riesling. The fruit for this wine comes from the Whispering Hill vineyard, which is situated on ancient granitic soils in the truly cool viticultural region of Mount Barker.
After more than 30 years of research, trial and observation of vine performance in various vineyards, the vines that produce the fruit for this wine were planted where the optimal expression of its variety could be achieved. The incredible climate, clean environment, ancient soils, fresh air, and wild oceans on three sides culminate in a stable predictable Mediterranean maritime climate perfect for growing grapes.
Taste profile: Whispering Hill Mt Barker Riesling is an outstanding single vineyard Riesling. Crisp and bone dry, it captures Mt Barker's distinctive mix of spices and citrus. Fine mineral palate with a tangy crisp feel.
From the limestone character of Sancerre to the green, herbaceous Sauvignon Blanc of Marlborough, this style group often shows off cut grass and wet stone. Often associated with coastal regions or limestone based terroir, these wines are characterised with crisp acidity, mineraiity, citrus tones, with a hint of grassiness
