For the 2024 Estate Riesling, they manage vineyard practices (yield control, canopy management, harvest timing) and cellar protocols to maximize aromatic integrity. The team abstains from oak influence, choosing stainless steel and inert vessels to preserve freshness and clarity of fruit. The winemaker’s role includes deciding optimal picking windows, fermentation regimes, and aging on fine lees (if used) to give texture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eVineyards and Micro Climate\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eFruit is sourced from Clare Valley, in South Australia.
