Meadowbank Riesling 2023

This wine is a tropical haven full of rich and multidimensional flavour. Ultra-unctuous and sensationally zingy on the palate, with aromas of both passionfruit and lemon/lime minerality. A delightful juxtaposition of sweet yet sour, but still so dry and refreshing – we are genuingely excited to see how this wine continues to evolve.

For those who are yet to taste these over the years, a quick heads up that this is not a typical Aussie Riesling. Our grapes originate from very old Tasmanian vines (planted at Meadowbank in 1974) combined with Gerald’s more recently planted German Riesling clones. The cool-climate conditions that sweep through our hidden valley continue to produce fruit of exceptional taste and quality. Our winemaker, Peter Dredge, then splits these Riesling ferments between stainless steel tanks (for refined freshness) and old French oak barrels (for complexity and texture) – the final blend produces a wine where high acid and a gentle kiss of residual sugar dance together in perfect harmony. A truly captivating wine that is completely and utterly delicious.

We highly recommend grabbing a 6-pack of this wine and storing some in your cellar – you can certainly enjoy drinking it right now but as with all of our of our rieslings, they’re only going to get better with age! As Tyson Stelzer previously noted – “Remarkable line and length promise grand things in decades to come.”
