2025 Riesling

Mount Barker Riesling, grown on nearly 27 year old vines.

Campbell Mattinson

Perfumed on the nose, fruitful on the palate, dry, structured and well sustained. This is an attractive riesling – good for drinking now but well-suited to spending a few years in the cellar. The main flavours are lemon, brine, tonic water and wet slate but floral aromas and hints of gooseberry on the palate add both breadth and interest. Everything here is nicely done, and it’s not hard to see it developing well too.

Score: 91 points

Winemaking:

Riesling is a variety that is naturally balanced, at the time that it is harvested it has great natural acidity – it’s crisp, elegant and beautiful. The vineyard we source our fruit from has predominantly Geisenheim clone which lends itself to flavours of citrus, unripe stonefruit and apricot.

When handling Riesling we filter the juice to a brightness before fermentation, to ensure there is no interference from any solids which can detract from the aromas and flavour in aromatic varietals such as this.
