Vintage Comments:

A traditionally wet winter, mild spring and excellent fruit set provided a great start to the 2014 vintage. Spring was drier and had warmer days than average, meaning the vines got away to a good healthy start.

In the second week of January 60—75mm of rain fell, which kept vines healthy and grapes ripening. In fact the ripening conditions were perfect, resulting in fruit with higher natural acidity, and incredible flavour and colour concentration.

The 2014 vintage has provided stunning signature Riesling from Eden Valley that show extraordinary flavour, purity of fruit and acid balance with the potential for excellent ageing.

Winemaker’s Report:

Grapes were picked in late February and early March and were crushed and then gently pressed to collect the free run juice. The juice was then fermented under controlled temperature conditions of 12 degrees for 20 days to retain the delicate fruit characters of this variety.

Vineyard Notes

Eden Valley is a cool climate region nestled between 400 and 600 metres above sea level and is part of the Barossa and Mount Lofty Ranges. It is rough, rocky country that belies its ability to produce wines of great delicacy and finesse. The soils are derived from schistic and sedimentary rock with red clay soils and sandy, silty loams interspersed with schistic gravels. The cooler climate of the Eden Valley allows fruit to experience longer ripening periods which is perfect for flavour accumulation and intensity.

    About Bethany

    The cycle of life in the Barossa vines has been turning for more than 150 years, since the Schrapel family planted their first vineyards in 1852. The family had arrived in South Australia from Silesia eight years previously and made their home in Bethany, the Barossa's first settlement.

    Today with Bethany Wines being run by fifth and sixth generations of the same Schrapel family, the vines' life cycle continues in much the same way as it always has, with minimal intervention from us to produce the best possible vines and grapes.

    "The philosophy at Bethany Wines has remained constant for more than 30 years - to produce exceptional wines that show the flavours of the family vineyards and are a natural reflection of the microclimate of the Barossa Ranges" - Geoff Schrapel.

    Geoff and Robert’s philosophy is to produce exceptional, elegant, food-friendly wines - wines that reflect the unique terroir of the Barossa Ranges.

    In creating a unique wine experience, the family wishes to share the sense of place that is Bethany.

    Their aim is to live well, provide for their children, care for the land and hand the winery and vineyards to the next generation in a better position than when they started.
