Product 1: Kirrihill Regional Series Riesling
Unique Selling Proposition
* Kirrihill’s Regional Series showcases the classic Clare Valley varieties grown throughout the region. 

We select fruit for these wines from the 250-hectare estate vineyards and from our strategic grower portfolio within Clare Valley. This allows us to be meticulous about the quality and consistency of the fruit and to ensure we produce a wine with pure varietal expression that over delivers on quality and value.

The Regional Series celebrates fruit driven, soft and approachable wines. The wines are released early when they are bright and fresh and are best suited to causal, everyday occasions and enjoyed with food, family and friends.

VINIFICATION: With the Riesling grapes picked in the early morning, when the temperatures are at their coolest, crushing and pressing of the chilled fruit occurred immediately with the aim of limiting any skin contact. After cold settling, the clean racked juice was then fermented in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks. It was then chilled immediately after fermentation to retain and protect the varietal aromas to remain pristine until bottling in mid 2020.

A light fining was done to enhance palatesoftness and then bottledwith minimal filtration
