MOUNT MAJURA RIESLING 2024 - white

Style: Dry & RacyTo a vigneron, an east-facing slope with limestone speaks softly but urgently of a need to plant vines. So it was that the late Dr Edgar Riek, a pioneer of viticulture in the Canberra District, came to plant a vineyard together with the then owner of our site, Mrs Dinny Killen. In 1988, the first hectare of Mount Majura Vineyard was planted. Mount Majura Vineyard lies near the top of the Majura Valley, just outside the city of Canberra. On the slopes of the valley, where the the cold air drains away, the soil develops from two geological formations. Limestone is deposited in the Silurian period, 430 million years ago, at the beginning of the simplest life on land. The Ainslie Volcanics, which form Mount Majura itself, are deposited very shortly afterwards. Movement along a fault that runs through the valley has resulted in mixing of the limestone and volcanic layers. MT MAJURALime and length, fennel and finesse, this is a wine to celebrate a love of Riesling with, whether now or in twenty years.
