Jim Barry The Lodge Hill Riesling 2024

Jim Barry purchased the land for the Lodge Hill vineyard in 1977 as he was sure it would “produce some of the best riesling in Clare.” Situated on the eastern ranges of the township of Clare, Lodge Hill is one of the highest vineyards in the Valley - at an altitude of 480 metres - and is ideal for producing steely, minerally rieslings, distinctive to the area.

Dukes Invitation Range Frankland River Riesling 2022

Sourced from one of the great sites in Frankland, Swinney Vineyard, we are ecstatic to work with this exceptional fruit from old vines planted on deep ironstone clay and gravels. Meticulously farmed, harvested at night, the floral lift and fine acidity characteristic of the Frankland region was beautifully captured in this wine. Light hay, sparkling green edges; aromas of lime, jasmine, honeysuckle, green pineapple; palate of finger lime, Meyer lemon meringue, juicy, ethereal, rain on wet slate finish.

Grosset Polish Hill Riesling 2024

A Polish Hill for the ages; a white that will delight while young; and yet age as gracefully as we hope to.

One of the finest wines to come from the Grosset Polish Hill Vineyard.

Irvine Spring Hill Riesling 2024

A dry, aromatic Eden Valley riesling that is fresh on the palate, but distinctive in its light texture and  length. A food friendly wine that classically pairs well with sushi or lightly dressed shellfish like prawns, oysters or crab. It can also be fantastic as a  counterweight to richer, fattier dishes like pork belly, a creamy chicken casserole or fish and chips. Lightly  pickled vegetables, or a young goat’s cheese would be  a good vegetarian option.

Jim Barry Florita Riesling 2023

This micro-batch, super-premium Riesling is the fruit  of years of patience. We selected individual rows  where the terra rossa and loam barely cover the  deep limestone below. To guarantee the freshness of  these precious grapes, we carefully picked batches to  precisely fill our membrane press in the chill of night  and de-stemmed the bunches without crushing them.

Bests Great Western Riesling 2024

Riesling vines from Great Western produce elegant, flavoursome and age-worthy Rieslings which stand alongside some of the most outstanding examples of the variety in Australia. In recent times, the style has evolved to match the continental climatic conditions to a beautifully balanced wine with texture and aromatics. The climate and soils in the Grampians wine region suit the Riesling variety perfectly. Our cool, continental location makes for very cold winters and strong diurnal (daily) temperature shifts during the growing season. This ensures full ripeness and plenty of natural acidity in the grapes. The Riesling at Best's has a proven ability to mature gracefully for 20 years or more. This example is no exception and its youthful freshness is a good sign for its long life in the cellar. It will gather complex toasty aromas and flavours as the years pass.

Grosset Springvale Riesling 2024

Produced from riesling grown biodynamically at the Grosset Springvale Vineyard  Unfined – vegan and vegetarian friendly

Ageing Potential: Drink now – 20 years  Produced from riesling grown biodynamically at the Grosset Rockwood Vineyard  Unfined- vegan and vegetarian friendly

Leeuwin Estate Art Series Riesling 2024
