Technical Tasting Notes
2023 HUTTON VALE FARM EDEN VALLEY RIESLING
GROWING SEASON
The 2023 Barossa Valley vintage will be remembered as one of the latestvintages in recent memory. After a wet winter our winter rains continued wellinto November, it was certainly unlike any other. This meant the growingseason was off to a slow start, and we never really caught up. The Barossaseason from this point on was almost perfect. Warmer than the 2022 vintage,but cooler than the long term average.
A vintage that will have a split personality, but the great vineyards with thebest growers truly excelled, the best wines will be up there with the best wehave ever produced. Characterised by the wonderful fruit expression seen inthe 2021 vintage combined with the crisp acids seen in the 2022 vintage. Theresulting whites look incredible characterised by pure lifted florals on thenose with crisp and clean finishes. The colour and depth of flavour in the redswill match and in some cases exceed that seen in the previous two vintages.Three in a row, who would have thought!
