Paracombe Holland Creek Riesling is a single vineyard release with limited production.
The vineyard is located on a picturesque northerly aspect overlooking Holland Creek and the River Torrens in heart of the Adelaide Hills.
The grapes for this wine were harvested in two picks at the end of February and early March. Yields from the 2015 were good and fruit quality was exceptional. A cooler Summer and mild Autumn gave ideal ripening conditions which in turn produced fruit to make wonderful wine with highly perfumed aromatics and superb flavour.
The 2015 Holland Creek Riesling is stunning, pale, clear colour with delicate green hues. The wine is fresh and pure with hints of crunchy, granny smith apple and lime laced throughout the bouquet and palate alike.
The bouquet is lively with lifted aromas of fresh citrus, spring blossom and pineapple. The palate delivers clean, graceful flavours of fresh limes, apples and slatey mineral notes with a fresh, clean finish.

The remarkable Paracombe wines story started in 1983 following the Ash Wednesday bushfires when Paul and Kathy Drogemuller bought an old dairy farm at Paracombe in the Adelaide Hills in South Australia. With no background or experience in grape growing or winemaking, they planted a vineyard and so began their dream.
Together with hard work, passion and vision Paul and Kathy expanded the vineyard, designed and built a winery with facility to crush up to 2000 tonnes of fruit, underground cellars and stunning cellar door. Son Ben works in the family business and daughter Sarah in hospitality, helping out with events. The Drogemuller family and Paracombe’s dedicated, dynamic team have worked together to build a very successful, award winning, family business.
Paracombe wines are proudly handcrafted from the beginning to the end, with grape growing, winemaking, storage, packaging and distribution all done on site ensuring complete care for the production of beautiful wine made to enjoy.
