Taking home GOLD and the TROPHY at the prestigious national wine awards, this classing Great Southern Riesling has all the hallmarks we have come to love in the Western Australian fruit of their classic French varietal.

To the eye, the 2023 Estate Riesling is very pale straw with green tinges. The nose is classic Great Southern Riesling with lime, talc and a perfumed floral lift . Powerful lemon and lime intensity with racy acidity and a quenching slatey finish.

Already acclaimed by critics, adding the RQWA gong to a growing list of accolades is an absolute coup for the Estate Mount Barker Riesling.

"So many beautiful Rieslings from this year, and here is another that totally rocks. Has the floral high notes and then the citrussy minerality, with a crunchy slightly tense palate feel which carries plenty of fine flavours that drive through to a long finish. Love the mouth feel here. A super drink now but with the ageing potential of the region and the variety."

"Feel the delicacy. It’s there in an engaging scent of white flowers, lavender, lime, green apple and citrus. And on the tongue in filigree-fine acidity. There is a youthful energy at play, and it carries right through the wine. The handy Riesling scale on the back label indicates it’s dry. Indeed, it’s bone dry with mouth-watering acidity which only helps to emphasise the lime, citrus, apple and lemon pithy texture. The overall delicacy is something intrinsic to Mount Barker Riesling and it is beautifully realised here."
