Tasting notes
Bright gooseberry, green mango and orange blossom notes on the nose, that then open up to wet slate and a nuanced bread and butter character. The acid and effervescence on the palate is tingling, with a grippy backbone of balanced phenolics. Tart apple and yellow grapefruit characters on the front palate, which then lead into a honey, savoury character with hints of biscuit with a long finish.
Terroir
The fruit for the 2025 Riesling is sourced from maritime, cool climate Mount Gambier. The soil profile is dominated by metamorphosed limestone. The vineyard is organically managed by viticulturists Mary and Guy Stratford.
Winemakers notes
A very dry season in Mt Gambier in 2025, and despite a warmer vintage across the Eastern Coast, temperatures in Mt Gambier were average and contributed to a slow, cool ripening.
Grapes picked on the 20th of March (2 weeks later than 2024) at 11 Baumé. Light pressing, all free run juice. Juice treated oxidatively. Fermented in aged french oak. Matured on gross lees for 5 months, then secondary fermentation in bottle until dry. No disgorging.
