Tapanappa Eden Valley 2025 Riesling

The colour of the 2025 Tapanappa Eden Valley Riesling is green and yellow.
The aroma is intense and of ripe citrus, the blood orange end of the spectrum rather than the more typical Eden Valley lime and floral.
The flavours are strongly of ripe Riesling, slightly rosemary herbal but again the flavour reflecting the blood orange aromas. There are a considerable texture and length of flavour, finished by a piquant acid and slight grapefruit bitterness.
Tapanappa 2025 Eden Valley Riesling is a reflection of the Riesling variety grown in a perfectly suited terroir of a “distinguished site” Eden Valley vineyard in a very warm, dry vintage.

Vintage Notes

The 2025 vintage growing season was the driest, warmest and earliest,and Eden Valley was not excepted.

There were no heat waves just consistent higher than average temperatures and especially at night.

The Riesling grapes in the Bartholomeus Vineyard in the EdenValley, ripened quickly and completely, suiting Tapanappa’s dry late picked style. The 2025 Riesling crop was hand harvested on the 12 th of March, 3 weeks before the average harvest date.

Winemaking Notes

The hand-picked Riesling grapes were delivered to the Tapanappa Winery in the Piccadilly Valley. There they were destemmed, roller crushed and chilled to 2C on the way to the Willmes airbag press.

The drained cold free run juice was augmented by the first light pressing fraction and allowed to settle in tank to achieve juice clarity.

After an extended settling the clear Riesling juice was racked and warmed to fermentation tank to undergo a three-month cool fermentation with one of Tapanappa’s selected yeast strains. At the finish of fermentation, the dry wine was chilled to -2C, to settle the yeast and cold stabilise the wine.

After a month of settling the clear wine was racked and carefully bottled to preserve the delicate aromas and flavours of the special Riesling variety.

2025 Tapanappa Eden Valley Riesling was bottled in August 2025.
