Steingarten is flagship Australian Riesling, representing the very best on offer from the pick of Jacobs Creek vineyards. In 1962, Orlando Wines established the Steingarten site on a steep east facing rocky outcrop running along the western edge of the Barossa ranges, less than two kilometres from founder Johann Gramp's original property. Named in honour of this iconic vineyard, Steingarten is vinified from a small number of hand selected cool climate Riesling blocks situated in the higher altitude ranges of Eden and Barossa Valleys.

$3299each $395DOZEN EACH DOZEN To ensure grapes are harvested at maximum flavour concentration, the ripening is closely monitored with regular tastings by the winemaking team within the vineyard. Fruit is harvested throughout the cool of night as each parcel achieves the most optimum flavour profile and acid balance. Grapes are rapidly transported to the Jacobs Creek wineworks, crushed and chilled. The free run juices are drained and clarified with minimum skin contact, followed by a cold fermentation at 13ºC to 15ºC after inoculation by choice yeasts, which serve to enhance the delicate Riesling flavours. Steingarten is bottled early to retain the precious, inimitable aromas and flavours of a distinguished vineyard. Alcohol 11.0%

Vibrant pale straw. Delicate aromas of citrus blossom with a background of subtle white floral and fresh lemon juice intensity are highlighted. A very restrained palate, showing youthful and attractive fresh lemon zest with fresh green apple nuances which are supported by a very fine and taut mineral acidity, providing a linear spine which enhances the potential of the wine to age gracefully over time.

The racy mesoclimes of Eden Valley yield the nation's most elegant Riesling, redolent with majestic perfumes and defined by their remarkably clean, fruit filled palates. The Riesling of old vines go one further, achieving a measure of excellence which is as close to perfection as can be found in the world of wine. Named for the surrounding copses of native gum, Wattle Brae was identified in 1969 as a site uncannily similar to the delicate Riesling's native home along the precipitous slopes of the Mosel and River Rhine.

Vineyards selected for the Mesh Project are chosen for their potential to yield fruit that's most in keeping with their Eden Valley provenance, while exhibiting the potential to translate into wines of style. The aim is to construct a Riesling with strong citrus flavour and slight mineral profile, long, rich flavours with a greater emphasis on power, generosity, persistence and texture. From vines up to sixty years of age, the viticultural parameters for each site focus on painstaking regimens, pruning, leaf retention and nutrition to further improve quality of fruit.

$3099each $371DOZEN EACH DOZEN Three vineyards, two different coloured buckets, one wine. High on the slopes of Eden Valley, bright yellow and blue buckets squat between the rows. Two subtly different methods are agreed upon to achieve the desired outcome, as grapes from each vineyard are pedantically divided by selectively hand picking alternate rows into buckets, Jeffrey's into the blue and Robert's in the yellow. The pair part company and the two separate parcels are then crushed at different locations, the finished components are jointly assessed to determine the final, final, final wine. Each component, while being close to identical at the start, undergoes a subtly different conversion, reflecting the personality of the winemakers.

Vibrant appearance. Aromas of zesty lemon and grapefruit, a hint of dried green herb and spice. Lively and generous on the palate, intense and generous with lively lime and citrus flavours, finishing clean and dry on a length of refreshing slatey, almost salty acidity.

Robert Hill Smith and Jeffrey Grosset are two of our nation's most accomplished winemakers. They share a passion for Riesling and have refined their art amongst the most spectacular vineyards in the land. Eden Valley is their terroir of choice, working side by side across alternate rows of vine, each with a slightly different technique, they endeavour to formulate a first growth of this most noble and enduring genre. The Mesh Project represents an evolution in ever higher standards of excellence, a vigorous wine of eloquence and luxury, so articulate of the chiselled and majestic Eden Valley Riesling style.

Established 1972, with a view to being one of the nation's pre eminent Chardonnay specialists, Mountadam was founded by the great David Wynn, one of the most significant contributors to the Australian wine industry and an important part of the Mountadam story. Mountadam today enjoy extensive resources for the production of Chardonnay through varied clones, ages and aspects. In assembling the finished wine, a balance of the most intense fruit aromas and flavours is sought, capturing the exquisite characteristics of fine Chardonnay without the influence of oak.

$2499each $299DOZEN EACH DOZEN Fully mature vines, cooler sites and access to crucial water gives Mountadam the edge. Chardonnay is sourced from the Mountadam estate property near the historic Boehm Springs Reserve, a nesting ground for Wedge Tail Eagles, the Mountadam logo. Sitting at an altitude of over 400 metres above sea level the vines grow in quartz rich sandy loams formed from the underlying schist bedrock. Picking grapes throughout the cool of early morning followed by a gentle pressing and a long cool four weeks of fermentation with natural cultured yeast helps retain maximum grape flavours. Parcels are selected which can best display the intensity of Chardonnay within the context of a vibrantly unoaked wine.

A pale green colour. Aromas of tropical fruit, rich apricot and ripe nectarine, layered with the complexity associated from a traditional vinification. Intense lively aromas of ripe peach and melon carry through on the palate with distinctly fresh acidity typical of cool climate Chardonnay. A long finish with lingering fruit characters and racy acidity. To accompany chicken caesar or grilled fresh water fishes.
