Vickery
Vickery wines is the culmination of John Vickery’s half-century of winemaking experience, partnered alongside a talented winemaking team. Together they create Rieslings that showcase John’s extensive expertise with the most noble of white wine varieties. It begins in the regions where John made his mark. Eden Valley in the Barossa and Watervale in the Clare Valley. It goes further into the sub-districts of these regions that John knows intimately, and partnering with growers who have the right vineyards in the right locations to produce the best possible fruit. The Vickery label is in effect, a time capsule for John’s wealth of winemaking knowledge. It allows his experience and winemaking techniques to be used without compromise, and then passed on to current and future generations of Riesling winemakers. The Vickery Eden Valley Riesling is a great example of these winemaking techniques ensuring that the exceptional fruit from the vineyard reaches it’s full potential.
