2024 The Insider Riesling
The fruit was divided into 2 parcels. One parcel was made in stainless steel and underwent slow, cool fermentation which was stopped early to drive the lemon sherbet and mandarin flavours, while the second parcel fermented in barrel to drive texture and palate weight. The two combine in harmonious balance.

Growing Conditions
The 2024 growing season commenced with a relatively dry winter, followed by cool wet conditions up until Christmas. Summer and Autumn were dry and warmer than average. The ripening conditions were ideal, with low disease pressure producing clean fruit with exceptional flavour.
Vineyard
From Watervale in the south, to Clare in the north, select patches of grapes are chosen for their ability to contribute to the unique Insider style.
