WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Vickery Eden Valley Riesling 2023 is produced using 100% Riesling grapes from Eden Valley, South Australia. The winemaking process emphasizes purity and precision, adhering to the methods established by John Vickery. Grapes are fermented at low temperatures in stainless steel tanks, a technique that preserves the wine's fresh fruit character and aromatic intensity. Some pressings are incorporated into the blend to enhance flavor and texture. The wine is typically bottled under screw cap soon after fermentation to maintain its vibrancy and freshness.
