Tumbarumba Riesling

Description

The Riesling fruit for this fruit filled wine, was sourced from Juliette Cullen’s vineyard in Tumbarumba, planted in 2005 at 620m elevation. Tumbarumba, on the western foothills of the Snowy Mountains is a cool climate region with higher rainfall and slightly lower average monthly temperatures in comparison to Murrumbateman. The Riesling is cane pruned each year in contrast to the Helm Murrumbateman vineyards which are spur pruned. Importantly the grapes meet Ken’s painstakingly high standards— complex flavours, disease free, no sunburn or bird damage. The grapes were handpicked in naturally cool perfect conditions and delivered to the Helm winery at Murrumbateman in the early hours of the next day for immediate processing. Clean and fresh, apple and lemon zest with refreshing acidity.
