World Wine – Vivino
About This Wine
The Live Wire represents an energetic evolution of the traditional Riesling style introduced by our migrant ancestors in the 1840s. From the renowned Barossa region, it is finely balanced with upfront fruit and a tangy crispness on the finish. Vivacious and perfectly refreshing!
Pale straw with green hues. Lifted bouquet of limes and Granny Smith apple with hints of talc and candied fruits. Fresh, juicy and refreshing and a slight spritz that makes the mouth water. Medium dry in style with the grapes' natural sweetness balancing the zingy, crisp acidity for which the Riesling grape is famous and the finish is long, zesty and fruity.

Barossa Valley Wine
The Barossa Valley wine region has historically and currently still is one of Australia's most prestigious premium wine producing regions. Located just 60km north east of Adelaide city centre, the climate there is very hot and dry which is perfect for the big bold reds the area is famous for.
A straight Shiraz is what Barossa is most well known for, however Rhone blends, such as Shiraz Cabernet are also very popular. While much less prevalent, white wines (Chardonnay, Riesling, Semillon) are planted on the higher altitude hillsides where the ocean breeze cools temperatures down to a level suitable for producing these varieties as well.
Some of Australia's earliest Shiraz plantings can be found here dating as far back as the 1850's. While not always a guarantee of quality, it might be worth seeking out and trying one of the region's "old vine shiraz" if you haven't yet.
