Very pale straw-coloured in the glass, the nose displays classic Eden Valley characters, with delicate floral aromas and powerful lemon-lime fruit with hints of talc and wet stone. The palate balances delicate floral and mineral fruit with lemon and grapefruit flavours wound around a taut acid backbone that gives the wine both intensity and length.

The grapes for the 2022 Atlas Wines Eden Valley Riesling were sourced from a vineyard situated on an eastern-facing slope, sheltered from the harsh afternoon sun, at an altitude of 440m in the heart of the Eden Valley subregion of the Barossa. This Riesling delicately expresses the unique characteristics of this site. The 2022 growing season unfolded as a long and mild one, a dream scenario for most Riesling winemakers.

In the realm of winemaking, the fruit underwent a careful process. Harvested and chilled, it was gently pressed in reductive conditions. The free-run juice settled at low temperatures before being racked and fermented using cultured yeasts. Fermentation continued until complete dryness, after which the wine was stabilized, filtered, and promptly bottled to preserve the natural freshness and fruit characteristics of the vineyard. The wine has since been allowed to rest in the bottle prior to its release.
