$25.00Intense lime juice backed by a delicate fragrance of orange blossom and lavender giving a bouquet that is zesty and fresh, yet also of great depth.

Hughes and Hughes Riesling 2021
$30.00Lovely and fresh and with more body than I was expecting. Citrus and stone fruits mainly. Beautiful texture, with just a touch of residual sugar. The tension between dryness and sweetness is judged perfectly. Fruit from vineyards in the North-west, Derwent and Coal River Valleys, picked between 11.5 and 12 baume. Skin ferment makes up […]

Grosset Springvale Riesling 2021
$50.00The great 2021 vintage expresses itself at Springvale as subtle lemon and lime citrus aromas, a touch of lavender and spring herbs. There’s an intensity on the palate, which is fresh, pristine and powerful, a taut structure which defines the wine and helps it build layers of citrus flavours. The finish is ultra-dry, long and […]

Swinney Riesling 2020
$30.00Fruit from the Powderbark vineyard. Whole-bunch pressed, stainless-steel ferment, on lees for 4 months. This has all the austere acidity that makes Frankland River riesling what it is, but it comes with a plump fruit profile that gives it a richness and almost an opulence. Lychee, lime, green apple and talc. The acidity has a […]

Josef Leitz Eins Zwei Dry Riesling 2018
$35.00Out of Stock
The 2018 Rheingau Riesling Trocken displays a serious and pretty complex sur lie bouquet with ripe fruit and crystalline terroir aromas. Lean and crystalline on the palate, this is an elegant, straightforward and well-structured Riesling with texture, good tension and stimulating crystalline and salty length. This dry wine should be excellent with white asparagus. Stephen Reinhardt, […]

Frankland Estate Riesling 2020
$28.00Smells of wet stone and talc mixed with yellow citrus peel and floral tones jump from the glass. A juicy crystalline Riesling on both the nose and palate.

Sinapius Tamar Valley Riesling 2020
$30.00When I first read the notes on how the 2020 Sinapius Riesling was made I didn’t think the juice could stand up to the traditional winemaking onslaught. Wonderful to be proven wrong! Extremely complex nose and unique in the context of Australian Riesling. Lavender, apple, butter, grapefruit, cherry, blackcurrant and lime wafting. Round, full bodied, […]

Mesh Eden Valley Riesling 2021
$28.00Mesh 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 […]

Castle Rock A&W Reserve Riesling 2021
$38.00Castle Rock is a bastion of high quality, great value Riesling and it’s 2021 A&W Reserve is wonderful. This has far more weight than the estate wine, with a rounder, more ample framework. The fruit spectrum’s different too, with tropical notes such as grapefruit, guava, kiwi fruit and pineapple. Extremely bright fruit and very complex, […]

Frankland Estate Poison Hill Riesling 2020

Almost dry, rich and mouth filling with terrific intensity and acid cut. Pure, luxurious and a dead ringer for Wehlener Sonnenuhr. Waters Wine Co.

Spinifex Rostein Riesling 2018
$45.00Spinifex’s Rostein vineyard is home to two parcels of ancient Riesling, one planted in 1945 and the other in 1956. These parcels produce minuscule yields for Riesling, resulting in wines of atypical concentration and power. 2015 was the first Spinifex harvest from Rostein, yet the wines have been previously been released (discreetly) as single-vineyard Eden Valley. […]

$40.00Out of Stock
Fermented in a ceramic egg and left on lees for ten months. The nose is a combination of lemon balm and dried floral aromatics with oyster shell/wakame savouriness.

Rippon Riesling Mature Vine ‘Rippon’ 2019
$55.00A warm & productive summer put plenty of flesh on this wine. The fruit is from Rippon’s mature vines, whose root hairs have invaded the schist rock below. Lurking towards the end of the first mouthful is substantial phenolic power and it soon starts to take charge of the wine… and give it its sense […]

Massena Stonegarden Riesling 2019
$30.00Cool fermented under 14 degrees in stainless steel tanks over several weeks. Gentle pressing and 100% free run juice. A small proportion was barrel fermented in small oak casks to add extra texture and mouthfeel. Subtle lime leaf, lemongrass and white blossoms combine with lemon sherbet to give Massena’s 2019 Stonegarden Riesling a bright and complex […]

Granite Hills Riesling 2021
$27.00If 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 […]

Weinbach Cuvee Theo Riesling 2019
$85.00At first quite closed, this has a whole spectrum of citric aromas that slowly open up. Notes of lychee and mangosteen, too. Then comes the wide-screen palate that’s packed with ripe fruit, but still quite tight on the long, very precise finish. From biodynamically grown grapes. Drinkable now, but better from 2022. 93 Points – […]

Diel Nahesteiner Riesling 2018
$40.00From a ripe vintage, the 2018 Diel Nahesteiner Riesling has an aromatic nose of yellow fruits, gardenia, watercress and lime marmalade. Voluminous, full bodied, some cherry to throw into the mix and ripe, bright acidity. Impeccable wine that is so generous in flavour and presence. Terrific bargain, one of the best from Germany at this […]

Clemens Busch Riesling Vom Grauen Schiefer 2019
$75.00Intense, with all the breadth, power and grandeur we have come to associate with Clemens Busch. Full bodied, with citrus, stone fruits, lemon zest, smoke, nettles a mineral puckering close. Full of dry extract, it’s hard to imagine anyone else getting so much “feel” to the palate, whilst maintaining an astonishing level of clarity. Giant […]

Peter Lauer Ayler Riesling Fass 25 2020
$55.00The most angular of Peter Lauer’s wines, but not lacking in intensity or interest. Notes of lemon, grapefruit, mandarin, spring jasmine, lavender wood, nettles and mint. Direct attack on the palate, very fine and tensile. Terrific poise and power, with a saline note and that spicy grip on the close. Elegant, refreshing style, nothing forced. […]

Granite Hills 1971 Block Riesling 2021
$33.00Intense 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. […]

Rings Riesling Trocken 2020
$45.00Very expressive and utterly seductive. Vivid lime, lemon, grapefruit, white peach and green apple. Deceptive power, pushy almost, flecked with white pepper and a touch of salt. Captivating now, but would be terrific to see in a couple of years. Waters Wine Co

Hofgut Falkenstein Altenberg Riesling Spatlese Trocken 2020
$60.00One of the “richest” wines of the Falkenstein stable, but this is so well cut and chiselled. Lemon, lime, apricot marmalade, white flowers, grapefruit, plum and some pine and petrichor notes. Medium bodied, waves of flavours and texture crash over the palate. But like I said, this is chiselled. Very coiled, packed with acidity and […]

Eva Fricke Rheingau Riesling Trocken 2020
$65.00Straight out of the blocks, what a way to start a wine tasting. Expressive, explosive and intense. Lemon, thyme, vine leaf, white peach and umami.
