Production Details We have two Riesling vineyards on Oak Valley Estate that provide us with two very different but complementary components of this wine. One vineyard provides aromatics, concentration and ripe fruit flavours at low sugar levels and the other providing elegance, acidic tension and depth. The wine is reductively made and fermentation is halted when we feel the acidity is in perfect balance with the residual sugar. A wine grown high up on the foothills of the Groenlandberg in the cool climate of Elgin grown in stony soils and fermented in stainless steel resulting in a stunning tropical, mineral fruit bomb.
