The vineyards were planted in the early 1970s on what was then, at almost 500 metres above sea level, one of the highest vineyards in South Australia. The rows are planted on the contour in shallow stony soils mainly on steep eastern facing slopes. The vines are hand pruned and the fruit is mainly hand-picked. Yields are extremely low but the vineyard produces intense flavours and aromas and deep richly coloured reds.
This dry white wine was made from hand-picked Riesling fruit from low yielding vines which grow on the highest slopes of the vineyard at Skillogalee (about 500 metres above sea level). The vines are hand-pruned and the fruit is hand-picked. On the nose there are lively fresh lime citrus aromas with hints of perfume and bath-powder. The palate has intense fruit flavours balanced by refreshing acidity giving a crisp, dry, lingering finish. Drink now with seafood or white meat dishes or cellar for about 7 to 10 years. Skillogalee
