Discover the elegance of cool-climate winemaking with the Josef Chromy Riesling 2022.

 Pale lemon-green in colour, this Riesling opens with fresh, vibrant aromas of citrus and delicate floral notes of jasmine and citrus blossom, complemented by hints of lime, bath salts, and freshly cut pear.

On the palate, a rich concentration of citrus fruit is balanced by racy natural acidity, creating a vibrant and textural mouthfeel. Subtle savoury undertones of bay leaf and green olive add complexity, while the wine finishes with a distinctive salty, briny finish that lingers long after each sip.

This refreshing dry Riesling offers precision and structure, making it a superb expression of Tasmania's cool-climate terroir.

Winemaking

Riesling grapes were picked at optimal ripeness in early April from Block 9 of the Josef Chromy Relbia Vineyard.

The grapes were gently pressed under CO2 cover to help preserve delicate aroma compounds. The free run juice was highly clarified to further support the pristine aromatic profile of the finished wine.

A cool fermentation took place thereafter in a stainless steel tank, lasting about two weeks and monitored daily. Upon completion, the wine was left to settle, before being racked off its gross lees and allowed to further develop for several months before bottling.

Tamar Valley

The Tamar Valley is Tasmania’s oldest wine region, located in Northern Tasmania and stretching from Launceston to the Bass Strait.

This region is renowned for its cool maritime climate and iron-rich soils, which provide ideal growing conditions for producing premium wines.

Home to over 30 family-owned wineries, the Tamar Valley accounts for more than a third of Tasmania’s total wine production. The region has a long history of viticulture, with its first commercial vineyard established in the mid-1800s at Windermere, and its cuttings even contributing to the early vineyards in South Australia.

Today, the Tamar Valley is celebrated for its Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Riesling, and sparkling wines, all of which reflect the region’s exceptional terroir and winemaking heritage.
