Castle Rock Porongurup Estate Riesling 2023
$32.00A flagship wine for the brand which they have been making since 1986. So it’s no surprise they have absolutely NAILED it once again. It’s almost like what freshly bathed baby skin smells like, pure and immaculate. Apple blossoms, white nectarine and lychee. Greengage plums, lime pith and quartz. Slippery and nimble on the palate […]

Rieslingfreak No 3 Clare Valley Riesling 2023
$25.00Excellent value here as this Clare Riesling delivers admirable complexity of chalk, citrus, white pepper, and stony complexity delivered with precision and focus. It then builds more exotic lavers of musk sticks, lychee and sherbet flavours all kept in line by a bolt of fresh acidity, with excellent volume lingering over a sustained finish. A […]

Castle Rock RS21 Riesling 2021
$25.00The RS21 Riesling from Castle Rock is a medium dry Riesling which has wonderful balance between natural acidity and the residual sugar left in the wine. Feijoa and lime evident on the palate, backed by some floral notes. The sugar gives a lovely richness to the mid palate. The Riesling acid structure is in excellent […]

Granite Hills Riesling 2022
$30.00If you could open a wine that typifies what’s best about Australian Riesling, this would be it. Add to this the caveat of best value, and this would be it again. Expressive, intense and powerful, with flavours of lemon, lime, zest, grapefruit and minerals. Such an attack of flavour and presence, acidity in lockstep. Ripeness […]

Hochkirch Towards Laidlaws Riesling 2021
$40.00From the NE facing side of the Riesling planting to Geisenheim clones. This has the steely centre that characterizes many Western Victorian Rieslings – it is fermented and aged only in tank. Gorgeous lemon/citrus blossom and green apple aromas. It’s incisive and vibrant mouth feel and tingling natural acidity give this characterful wine tension and […]

Castle Rock Skywalk Riesling 2022
$25.00This is a wine that is always an impressive performer and represents top value for the asking price. Pretty scents of white flowers diffuse. Old school lemonade surges with a green apple drive. So fresh, there is a hint of cucumber in the midst too. Soft, talc feels roll out to a long and refreshing […]

Mesh Eden Valley Riesling 2023
$35.00Mesh is a collaboration between Yalumba’s Robert Hill Smith and Jeffrey Grosset, two of Australia’s greatest riesling producers. Typical of the vintage, the 2021 has that extra level of concentration. White flowers, mandarin oil, lemon zest and juicy ripe limes. Texturally, there is a chalky/salty mineral feel, that really lifts the finish. Precise, elegant, detailed […]

Gunderloch Jean Baptiste Riesling Kabinett 2021
$38.00Super-bright and vibrant, but with a wide spectrum of aromas from green apple to papaya and pomegranate. The freshness takes your breath away! Samurai sword clarity at the finish would be too much for a dry wine, but with this generous touch of grape sweetness it’s really exciting. A cuvee of the earliest and latest […]

Stargazer Tupelo White Blend 2023
$35.00One of our favourite white wines of 2023, of any style, from anywhere. A blend of Pinot Gris, Riesling, Pinot Blanc and Gewurztraminer. A nod to the blends of Alsace, a showcase of region, rather than of varietal. The Tupelo is to a degree an orange wine, and in that idiom it is the best […]

Pewsey Vale Vineyard Riesling 2023
$25.00One of Australia’s most consistent and best value whites. A great vintage for this wine too. Expressive and concentrated. Lemon, lime, white peach, start jasmine and sculptural acidity. Fleshy fruit, some zest and rind for texture and that Clare Valley zing. Drink over the next 20 years at least. Waters Wine Co Riesling sourced […]

Stargazer Single Vineyard Riesling 2023
$35.00A feinherb style that is at once richer and more tense than the 2022. Stunning aromatics of green mango, kiwi, star jasmine, pink grapefruit, lime, white cherry and blackcurrant. Stunning breadth, absolutely palate coating, focused, intense and mineral. The fruit is perfectly ripe, yet tangy, mouthwatering and so pristine, you’ll have to have another sip. […]

Granite Hills 1971 Block Riesling 2022
$35.00Intense aromatics of passionfruit, lime, blackcurrant, cherry, stone fruits, honey, mustard and savoury spice. Dense, concentrated, in fact, perhaps the deepest core of power that I have tasted in an Australian Riesling. Expansive palate, direct in flavour, precise scaffold, chalky texture and that width! There is so much hidden here, so much pleasure to come. […]

Ravensworth Estate Riesling 2021
$45.00The Estate Riesling is sourced from mostly 25-year-old vines grown on granite soils at 650 metres elevation. After approximately 24 hours on skins, the fruit was direct-pressed to two ceramic eggs for fermentation and a year-long élevage with lees. It was then racked to old foudre where it rested before being bottled unfined and unfiltered. […]

Bubb and Pooley Riesling 2022
$45.00Made in a feinherb style, well almost, as the sugar is barely noticeable due to the very high level of acidity. Lemons, limes, grapefruit green apple and salt. The citrus is of fresh juice, preserve and zest and as such, is quite linear in style. Mouthwatering and bracing, it will be fascinating to see how […]

Dr Loosen Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Kabinett 2021

Reed White Heart Riesling 2023
$36.00“This is the first year I have stepped out of Geelong to find Riesling fruit. It seems to be that Riesling is a hard grape to come by these days, especially in my home GI. Until I can grow a large enough crop of my own in Torquay, I have decided to venture out to […]

Crawford River Strata Riesling 2023
$38.00Citrus leaning towards the Myer lemon and Clementine spectrum are the driving forces here. There is ginger spice, sherbet and red apple skin, almost in equal measure, with lime lingering in the background. A lovely round palate, with soft textural elements that bely the cool year and shine throughout. Supple and even, the back palate […]

Helm Tumbarumba Riesling 2023
$35.00The citrus and apple blossom of the bouquet and piercing drive of the palate have Germanic overtones as lime and glittering acidity take control of proceedings. A glorious wine at an enticing price. Tumbarumba is a relatively new region for riesling, but is ideally suited. 96 points – James Halliday (The Weekend Australian) […]

Rich and concentrated, extremely powerful, super intense, salty, pithy, textural and precise. Compact and coiled in 2022, requiring a few years to unwind and flesh out. Promises to be […]
