Sourced from our Polish Hill River vineyard, situated 5km South-East of the Clare township. The vineyard is owned by Rob and Lyn Jaeschke, who purchased the vineyard from Penfolds in 2010. The vineyard is on grey-brown loam, over sandy limestone and shale rock. Riesling Block “D6” which is specially selected for the No.8 is a tiny planting of just 0.4 ha, situated in a small gully bordered by a steep hill to the North, and the tree-lined bank of a creek to the South. The vines are approximately 20 years old, planted on 44-year-old root stock and are planted in an East-West direction. A year like 2025 which is marked by boldly assertive flavour and an abundance of electric acidity, provides for an exciting vintage for our iconic “Schatzkammer” Riesling. The bouquet is sweetly scented with aromas of passionfruit, apple blossom and lemon myrtle which carry through onto the lusciously flavoured palate. This wine is low in alcohol, with a finely-tuned balance of succulent residual sweetness and crackling acidity that balances perilously yet perfectly on a knife edge of precision. The luscious sweetness flows across the tip of the tongue, carrying with it a fruit basket of tropical and citrus flavours, before seamlessly giving way to a line of galvanic acidity that drives the length of the palate to a clean, crisp finish - the ultimate hallmark of the very best examples of this unique style of Riesling.
