HATCH Eden Valley Flaxman Riesling is one of the exquisite wines from renowned Australian winemaker Chris Hatcher. Affectionately known as Hatch, after 50 years creating wines for some of Australia’s most recognised labels, such as Penfolds and Wolf Blass, Chris Hatcher has now launched his own HATCH Wines to continue crafting beautiful, classic wines that stand the test of time.

Flaxman’s Valley is one of the Australia’s classic regions for Riesling. It is a subregion of Eden Valley located almost 250 metres above the Barossa floor on the eastern slopes of the Barossa Ranges. The high altitude gives a cool climate and long ripening period that is essential for making high quality Riesling.

This delightful Riesling has fruit with great depth of flavour and wonderful natural acidity. Cold fermentation in refrigerated stainless steel tanks was used to capture and retain the intense but delicate fruit flavours. The HATCH Eden Valley Flaxman Riesling is floral with hints of lime and jasmine. The palate is elegant with intense fruit and fine natural acidity that is delicious now but will reward with medium to long-term cellaring. This wine was honoured with a Silver Medal at The Drinks Business Global Riesling Masters Awards, cementing HATCH’s position as one of Australia’s finest producers of this noble grape variety.

Enjoy with fresh oysters, prawns, seared scallops, salt and pepper squid and delicate Asian dishes or simply on a fine day with your friends.

Chris Hatcher’s love for 1920s jazz, art deco design and refined revelry, has influenced the elegant design, making HATCH Eden Valley Flaxman Riesling a showstopper bottle that you’ll continue to appreciate even after the wine is gone!
