Crafted from Rimfire's unique white wine grape variety, this wine has captured the imaginations of wine-lovers everywhere. As flavoursome as it is dry, Rimfire 1893 exhibits delicate citrus aromas reflected by subtle lemon, lime and grapefruit characters on the palate. The crisp acidity makes Rimfire 1893 a perfect match to Australian seafood and summer salads. Truly intriguing, 1893 is one of Rimfire's most sought after wines.
1893 is an unidentified white grape that dates back to the region's historic vineyard planted by the first settlers. Soon after Rimfire was established in the mid 1990s, a lone, very old vine was found growing in a nearby paddock - in almost the exact same location the historic vineyard was planted more than a century earlier. Unable to identify the unusual variety, Rimfire forwarded samples to the Australian Wine Research Institute (AWRI). The results of DNA testing confirmed what Rimfire suspected all along: it was truly a mystery variety with no known DNA match on the vine databank.
