Floral and oyster shell aroma with a palate full of all aspects of lemon, from zest to flesh and finishing highlights of lime and melon. Fabulous length, very moreish, bright and crisp. Great as an aperitif because of its fabulous natural acidity. Screw-cap sealed.\" Emily McNally, July 2024.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eEstablished in 1975 by Ron and Elva Laughton, Jasper Hill producers some of Australia’s most compelling and sought-after wines. Located at Heathcote in Central Victoria, the vineyards sit on undulating hillsides, built on a narrow strip of ancient Cambrian soils. These deep, red coloured, well drained gravely loams support lowvigour vine growth without the need for supplementary irrigation. \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe wines are produced entirely on the estate (i.e. grown, made and bottled) following an organic and biodynamic philosophy. Inter-row mulching and organic compost are used to improve soil organic matter. This allows greater bio-diversity in micro flora and fauna, supporting the large earthworm populations beneficial for natural soil fertility. No synthetic chemicals have ever been applied to the soils or the vines and the vines are all grown on their own roots, allowing the vines to express flavours and characteristics natural to their variety and terroir. In recent years the Poussard pruning technique has been thoughtfully employed, improving vine health by focusing on optimal sap flow. \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eGrown at elevations of 330 m, the vines benefit from warm days and cool nights, giving good natural acid retention. Accordingly, none of the wines from Jasper Hill vineyards has ever been acid adjusted at any stage. These are natural wines of striking purity.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jasper Hill","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44918846652578,"sku":"72910589269","price":49.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0565\/6533\/4178\/files\/4_ccfca487-8964-466c-a385-bdf6fdc69889.png?v=1726543328","url":"https:\/\/spon.bar\/products\/2024-jasper-hill-georgias-paddock-riesling","provider":"Spön Bottle Shop and Wine Bar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
