Garden Gully is steeped in early viticultural history, the ancient vines bear testament to its place in local folklore. As a Riesling, Garden Gully represents a magnificently poised palate of defined varietal flavours, as influenced by the brisk climes and parched terroirs of the Victorian Grampians. Tiny yields of very small bunches and long walks along the challenging terrains demand an extra effort from the pickers, the Garden Gully winemaking team however are always very pleased with the incedible quality of fruit.
TASTING NOTES
Bright pale hues. An intense, uplifted and aromatic nose showing citrus, lime and apricot characters, toffee, toast and lemon notes, punctuate the vibrancy of fruit. An understated yet elegant palate layered with ripe autumn fruit characters, it exits quietly with exquisite balance, integrity and mineral richness. To accompany brewed shellfish or whiting caprice.

More About Garden Gully Wines
Garden Gully is built on the original Salinger's Hockheim winery site which originated in the 1870's and operated as such until 1945
The vineyard produces a limited range of premium wines sourced from the property's old vines and as well as younger plantings. The Shiraz is sensational and the Sparkling Shiraz takes all of us back to those halcyon days of the Great Western Region. The Garden Gully's vignerons are still trying to reshape the grand old vines and repair some of the damage caused by several years of neglect. The strategy is to prune the vineyard as late as possible to minimize the frost risk. Despite the frost and the very small crop at Garden Gully, the vines need frequent watering to maintain vine health. Garden Gully»
