Smallfry Riesling Biodynamic 2021 (12 Bottles) Eden Valley

$356.00 GST Included

AUSTRALIA WIDE SHIPPING INCLUDED

Lower yields this year have given us a particularly intense wine, showing Nashi pear in keeping with the chalky texture as well as the traditional lime and lemon citrus will age very well but quite special as a young wine. Riesling winemaking is very much a wham bam thankyou mam business; the opportunity for winemaking influence is minimal. This is probably why I like it so much, fruit quality is all. Certified organic biodynamic.

Colour: Water white with some pale gold hints, colour deepening with age.

Aroma: Nose of lime and lemon sherbet, developing honeyed toast notes with age.

Palate: Lime and lemon juice notes, some nice talcy, minerally characters with a lingering acid finish.

Summary: This Riesling goes well with most seafood dishes, also delicious with Oysters, Yabbies or Grilled Whiting

About Us

Wayne Ahrens and Suzi Hilder are the custodians of some exceedingly fine vineyards. Both from grape growing families of long standing they planted a vineyard in the Eden Valley and purchased a beautiful block of ancient vines in the Barossa Valley sub-region of Vine Vale. With patience, intelligence and sheer graft these vines are now producing grapes sought after by some of the best winemakers in Australia. A commitment to sustainable practises and certification as Biodynamic producers both in the vineyard and winery is further proof of the dedication to quality.

The excellence of the Smallfry wines is a reflection of the dedication in the vineyard. The wines are very much hand-made, non-interventionist styles with no additives and only older oak used. They showcase the regional Barossa styles in a modern, fruit focussed vein. A five star producer and “one to watch” in James Halliday’s Wine Companion Smallfry is a winery most definitely on the rise.

Sparrow & Vine

Sparrow & Vine is a producer of wine, cider and mead, based in Sydney. Working with ethically-minded growers around Australia, we bottle a small range of low-intervention drinks that we craft with huge care. We sell them to both professional and consumer markets. And we drink quite a bit of it ourselves.

We have pioneered the supply of high-quality wines in keg in Australia, developing a range that offers value and convenience to discerning venues who seek a more sustainable way to serve wine to patrons. A great wine doesn’t need a cork and a cravate.
