2023 Singlefile Great Southern Riesling

The 2023 growing season delivered ideal conditions for growing premium riesling in the Great Southern region. There was good rainfall over winter. Spring was reasonably dry and summer held slightly cooler temperatures which allowed for the ideal lemon and lime riesling flavours to develop while, importantly, the fruit retained a beautiful natural acidity which forms the backbone of this wine.

The parcels of fruit were brought into the winery, the free run juice undergoing a long and slow cold fermentation in stainless steel immediately after the pressing. This ensures the pristine floral and citrus fruit characters are preserved. The wine underwent very gentle lees stirring to add subtle texture before preparation for bottling. The wine was bottled in June 2023.
