Description

Terroir
The fruit for the 2023 Riesling is sourced from maritime,
cool climate Mount Gambier. The soil profile is
dominated by metamorphosed limestone. The vineyard
is organically managed.

2024 was an ideal vintage in Mount Gambier, mild, dry
weather during most of the growing season, punctuated
by a few hotter days to allow for perfect ripeness and
expression of fruit. Made in the Method Traditional
style. Grapes picked on 12th March. Whole bunch
pressed, light pressing, all free run juice, juice treated
oxidatively. Fermented in old French puncheons and
kept on gross lees for 5 months.
Early Disgorgement (December 2025): 15 months on
lees in bottle adds complexity, the dosage of 3.5 g/L
balances perfectly.
Tasting notes
The Nose is spicy aromas of peppercorn tree, lime jel
lies and crushed Makrut Lime leaves, and pomelo with
attendant brown spices.
The palate opens with charming light frothiness.
Crushed green apple, pink grapefruit, spicy fresh green
pepper, lime flesh, brine, crushed shells. Finishes with
head-spinning freshness and minerality, chalk-streaked
phenolics, and dazzlingly brilliant acidity.
