Season: A late vintage compared to previous years. Cooler days and nights, which meant the flavours were more concentrated due to a longer ripening period.
Winemaking: A blend of Riesling 80%, Kerner and Gewurztraminer, co-fermented and finished with a superfine bubble.

Aroma/Bouquet: Subtle aromas of tropical fruits.

An enchanting selection of twelve classic Eden Valley white wines.
So many varieties to tantalize your senses and match with an array of seasonal cuisines. This twelve bottle wine pack, offers exceptional choice from new to old world styles, very much ‘on trend’.
White wines of Eden Valley are noted for their aromatics, minerals and high acidity. In their youth, they are fresh and crisp but with bottle aging these characteristics intertwine and evolve into a rich textured wine, with soft buttery palates and at times, toasty notes.
I truly hope you enjoy some of my favourites!
