Reserve Isabella Riesling

Shaw Wines Reserve Isabella Riesling is sourced from the low yielding, spur pruned vines of the estate Murrumbateman vineyard. The area is known for its cool climate.

The wine honours Isabella Diana Anderson. Her family ran a fine wool operation at Olleyville (now the home of Shaw Wines), with she herself doing much of the sheep work until the age of 86.

The best parcels of Riesling are picked in the cool of night, ensuring the grapes are delivered to the winery at less than 20°C. They are lightly pressed and drained, with only the free run component of juice used to produce the wine.

Pale straw, Shaw Vineyard Estate Reserve Isabella Riesling has lifted citrus aromas with a slight natural sweetness and mineral acidity. Cellaring potential is 12 years.
