Rag & Bone Riesling

Well suited to seafood dishes, spicy cuisine and anytime in the company of those who enjoy a quality Riesling! Try chili prawns, green Thai curry, fish and chicken laksa (with chili, coconut, ginger and lime).

The nose classically expresses the vineyard... it's like having a fresh lime in your hand that you crush gently over minerals... literally lime on the rocks!! The palate is bright, zingy, singing with natural acidity and really textural. It reflects the vineyard with it's fine sandy texture with really bright, white pithy fruit. Just a cracking Eden Valley Riesling.

Eden Valley Riesling is prized for it's vibrancy, purity and longevity and has produced many of Australia's greatest Rieslings. The fruit for Rag & Bone is sourced from Binder's single vineyard, high up on the Eastern side of Eden Valley. Warm days and cool nights ensure that the grapes develop ripe, intense fruit flavors while retaining appealing zing and acidity. The fruit was delivered to the winery immediately after harvesting in the cool hours of the morning, then processed very gently through our tank press. Free run and pressing portions were determined by Christa, using her vast experience with this variety. A Ratafia style wine was made from the pressings and the free run juice was used to make this wine. The juice was cold settled and three days later the clear juice was transferred into fermentation tanks. Bottling takes place in the middle of June.
