2025 R139 Riesling (375ml)
Riesling
Coal River Valley, Tasmania
7.6% / 375ml
A youthful pale golden hue. A flinty edge with nashi pear, pure white flowers and candied tropical fruits — think pineapple and mango. Rich and viscous entry onto the palate, poised with balanced sweetness and a laser-like focus. Luscious fruits carry onto the palate and while clean and fresh, the finish has a moreish phenolic drive.

Winemakers Notes
The vines selected for the dessert riesling are cane-cut where the grapes are then left to shrivel on the vine, concentrating the sugar within the berries, before being harvested later in the season.
After selective hand-picking, the fruit is gently bag pressed and cold settled for 48 hours. Post racking, the juice is inoculated with a neutral yeast and fermented at cool temperatures for around three weeks. After the ferment has been stopped at the required sugar level, the wine spends around 6-8 weeks on lees before being prepared for bottling.
