Production Details Darling Riesling from vines planted in 2007 on Hutton soil at 250 meters elevation with supplementary irrigation and 7 wire extended moveable Perold trellising. This was the first year the Riesling grapes were pressed as whole bunches to achieve a more elegant and balanced wine. Fermentation took place in stainless steel tanks for 10 days and was stopped by cooling the must to 6C. The cellar note states this resulted in residual sugar of 17 g/L.
