Nestled on a south facing slope next to a wetland in Darling, lies this young, bushvine Riesling vineyard. The cooler slope contributes to the lively acidity of this unconventional Riesling with distinctive floral aromas.

Whole bunch pressed, spontaneous fermentation in 4th fill barrels. Aged 7 months in barrel. No additions apart from sulphur. Lightly filtered.

Illimis intends to honestly harness what nature offers, and follows a minimal intervention principle as far as possible, allowing the wine to express its origin with clarity, finesse, and complexity. Illimis, the Latin word for clarity, signifies winemaker Lucinda Heyns’ crystal clear winemaking philosophy. Wine should be a window to where its vineyard is rooted.
