From one of Australia's best Riesling winemakers, comes this impeccably structured wine. It's overflowing with orange and quince blossom and hints of sweet citrusy pink grapefruit. Deliciously mouth-filling, the palate explodes with lemon and lime flavours that take you all the way to a crisp, dry, lingering finish. This is craftsmanship in motion. Try it with asparagus wrapped in prosciutto.

Mostly Nagambie Lakes plus 20 per cent Strathbogie Ranges fruit, this just sings with glorious, almost heady citrus orchard smells, and a creamy layer to add extraordinary textural complexity as well, its fine taper finish driven by a superfine, powder-dry feel. Excellent all on its own.

Winemaker Notes

When picked at optimal level of ripeness, the riesling grape has a beautiful dusty pale lemony gold colour, with a sweet musk stick flavour. With care and attention, we aim to retain these characters through to the finished wine.
