2022 Riverby Estate Gruner Veltliner
Grape
Gruner Veltliner
Its Origins
A major factor in Riverby’s success is the total control over all grape production on the single estate vineyard. A significant portion of the vineyard consists of vines with considerable age and this is complemented by slightly younger vines utilising modern clones. This combination of vine age and meticulous clonal selection is readily apparent in the high quality fruit being produced. Vines were first planted in 1989; on land that had previously been used for cropping and sheep farming. Further plantings have continued over the years, until now over 70 hectares are planted out in Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Riesling, Pinot Gris, Semillon, and Syrah. The most recent planting is of Gruner Veltliner. As part of Riverby’s focus on viticultural excellence, yields are kept very low and several varieties are hand picked. Sustainable grape-growing techniques are practiced throughout the whole grape-growing and winemaking cycle.
What The Critics Say
93/100 Sam Kim
"Delightfully fruited and elegantly fragrant, the wine shows apricot, rockmelon, fig and lemon peel aromas on the nose. The palate offers appetising freshness and vibrancy beautifully framed by fine texture and juicy acidity, making it highly enjoyable. At its best: now to 2027."
