Chief Winemaker Andrew Quin selected five vineyard blocks of varying aspects to create this expression of the renowned South Australian region. The vineyards are positioned at approximately 420 to 450 metres above sea level, where elevation helps preserve freshness and aromatic intensity. Shallow grey sandy-loam soils overlying granite naturally reduce vine vigour, contributing to pristine acidity, vibrant flavour and concentrated perfume. Slightly above-average winter and spring rainfall, followed by mild conditions through spring and early summer, encouraged delayed development and balanced vine canopies. Two rainfall events occurred during March, while warm early conditions gave way to a mild conclusion to the growing season, resulting in a late and elongated vintage characterised by elegance and vibrancy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Riesling grapes were harvested between 4 March and 21 March 2026. Following harvest, the fruit was destemmed, chilled and pressed before the juice was cold settled for 48 hours. Fermentation was conducted at cool temperatures between 11°C and 15°C in stainless-steel vessels to retain varietal purity and freshness. The finished wine presents a focused profile of grapefruit, lemon, delicate blossom and mineral nuances. Bright acidity drives an intense and vibrant flavour profile while maintaining balance and refreshment. Hentley Farm describes the wine as suitable for immediate enjoyment as a crisp aromatic white, while also possessing the attributes required for further development with careful cellaring. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNOSE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e– Aromatic and precise\u003cbr\u003eGrapefruit, fresh lemon, delicate blossom and mineral notes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePALATE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e– Bright and vibrant\u003cbr\u003eIntense citrus flavours, pristine acidity and finely defined minerality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFINISH\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e– Balanced and refreshing\u003cbr\u003eClean citrus and mineral notes carried by lively acidity. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFiner Details:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStyle – White Wine\u003cbr\u003eVarietal – Riesling \u003cbr\u003eCountry – Australia\u003cbr\u003eRegion – Eden Valley, South Australia\u003cbr\u003eVintage – 2026\u003cbr\u003eBottle Size – 750ml\u003cbr\u003eABV – 11%\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hentley Farm","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44042183770199,"sku":"HFRIES-26","price":35.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0043\/9258\/3217\/files\/340a8a0a-fad8-4838-9312-8275040a264b.png?v=1784265151","url":"https:\/\/kentstreetcellars.co.nz\/products\/hentley-farm-riesling-2026","provider":"Kent Street Cellars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
