Vintage Notes

Growing Season

The 2024 growing season was characterized by favorable conditions. A wet winter provided excellent soil moisture for spring budburst. Moderate temperatures and consistent rainfall during spring allowed for even berry set and good yields. Summer saw balanced temperatures with few extreme heat events, resulting in steady ripening, with optimal flavour development and balanced acidity.

Vineyard

Grapes for this blend were selected from three different blocks on the Gaelic Vineyard, each parcel with its own Riesling characters but the underlying flavours were definitively Clare with citrus flavours and mineral tones.

Winemaking

Riesling is a delicate pure varietal that requires minimal intervention. The wine is 100% reliant on the grape flavour and the natural acidity developed during ripening. The grapes were harvested on February 16th, 2024. The juice was fermented in stainless steel at 14 degrees Celsius to preserve the purity of Riesling free run juice.
