Skillogalee Estate Riesling 2024 x 6
Crafted from dry-grown vines on the sloping hills of our family-owned estate in the Sevenhill subregion of the Clare Valley, the 2024 Estate Riesling embodies the heart of Skillogalee’s terroir. These low-yield vines are carefully tended by hand, following sustainable farming practices that preserve the land while capturing the authentic character of each vintage.
This Riesling is vibrant and invigorating, showcasing refined acidity and a brisk splash of Tahitian lime, complemented by delicate floral scents and subtle mineral undertones. Its vivid flavours and elegant composition are a true reflection of our ancient soils and the remarkable landscape of Skillogalee. The wine’s striking liveliness on the palate makes it perfect for immediate enjoyment, while its structure promises graceful enhancement with careful ageing.
In crafting the Estate Riesling, we wait patiently for the grapes to reach the perfect balance of ripeness, flavour, and acidity. Harvested by hand at their peak, the grapes are treated as separate parcels during the winemaking process. Each parcel is fermented individually, allowing our small winemaking team to highlight the unique characteristics of each block. The final blend is meticulously crafted just before bottling, resulting in a wine that is balanced and structured, ready to be enjoyed today or cellared for the future.
Vintage
The 2024 vintage exemplifies the art of precision in vineyard care and a keen response to nature’s rhythms. A particularly wet winter and spring led to a slower onset of the growing season, culminating in well-timed flowering and a March harvest. Minimal rainfall from Christmas to March contributed to the remarkable flavour development and ideal acidity in our white varieties, particularly the Riesling. Despite early challenges, the season's resilience and our dedicated cultivation practices have resulted in wines that truly embody the celebrated terroir of the Clare Valley.
