The Skilly Ridge vineyard produces wine with intense lemon, grapefruit and blossom aromas and flavours with a focussed line of minerality and acidity. Produced using only free-run juice, fruit flavours are kept pure. This wine can be enjoyed with or without food, and can be kept to develop gracefully for up to 15 years.

Pale straw yellow in colour. This wine being very intensely flavoured and aromatic. The wine has very lifted Riesling character with citrus aromatics of lime, lemon and grapefruit. The palate is seamless with moderate viscosity and brisk acid finish.

Named after the Schaefer family, the original custodians of this unique vineyard that continues to produce elegant and rich fruit year after year. Twenty-four months in new French oak provides chocolate, spice and balance to the wine, which is dominated by dark red cherries, plums and red berry aromas and ?avours.

"This aromatic wine has great balance, stunning textural character and generous flavour, with French oak fermentation adding complexity to the grassy and plush stone fruit characteristics. It has diverse food compatibility�in particular with seafood and pasta and may be cellared for a decade with confidence. "
