Riesling

One of the world's great grape varieties and the acknowledged king of German vineyards, also important in Alsace, Riesling goes through a number of ripening phases making it incredibly varied. Picked early it can form a base wine for Methode Champenoise; a little later, it makes a wonderfully crisp, aromatic lemon-lime filled dry white. A little riper the grapes produce an excellent, slightly sweet 'Spatlese' wine, later again an 'Auslese', and so on. In Australia, crisp, minerally, citrus-led styles dominate, with regions like South Australia, Victoria and Western Australia producing the finest examples. Fish, shellfish and crustaceans are perfect partners. Browse our top rated Riesling wines here.

John Vickery was a legend of the Australian wine industry and is widely acknowledged as the old master of Riesling. His illustrious career spanned over 50 years at the likes of Leo Buring and Richmond Grove during which time he amassed more than 50 Trophies and over 400 gold medals. He was also responsible for the re-introduction of screw caps with his 1998 Richmond Grove Watervale Riesling.
A magnificent Eden Valley Riesling that boasts terrific fruit intensity, tension and textural volume.
Fruit was sourced from the Mason, Schubert and Stephens family vineyards with vines planted in 2001, 1961 & 1971 respectively. Brilliant water like colour with a distinctive greenish tinge to the edges. Intense lime, citrus and green apple scents are intermeshed with orange rind, talc and steely mineral notes. Super scrumptious, the palate possesses outstanding concentration, power and textural volume with steely mineral infused acidity providing tension. Lime, citrus and orange rind flavours completely engulf the mouth with green apple and chalky talc characters flowing through the back half. Mouth wateringly long it finishes dry and crunchy with terrific intensity.
Drink over the next 5-6 years.

Other Reviews.....
Sadly, we lost John Vickery last year. The year this wine was produced. He was a titan of riesling in Australia and a wonderful fella to boot. The focus, precision and velocity of this wine is something else. Pristine lime and green apple notes, lightly cloaked in tones of jasmine and Christmas lily with hints of crushed quartz and fennel. There's a scorching cadence across the palate, steely and dry with a distinct riverstone savoury finish and shimmering minerality. Vale John. Drink by 2035.

Wilson’s Polish Hill River Riesling is sourced from their oldest vineyards planted over 40 years ago. Its miniscule yields typically produce a wine rich in citrus fruits within a steely structure, tight with lots of minerality. Beneath the iron stained clay lies a bed of decomposing slate and scattered quartz. It’s also not unusual to find remnant pottery and agricultural implements from the Polish Settlers who once lived and farmed the area now planted to this small vineyard.
A stunning Polish Hill Riesling that has intense, mouth filling flavours sculptured by chiselled acidity.
Brilliant very pale straw colour with gleaming green tinged edges and a watery hue. Powerful aromatics of lime, lemon and Granny Smith apple engulf the olfactory senses complimented by wet steel, subtle chalky talc like notes and minerals. Racy lime, citrus and to a lesser extent orange rind flavours are delivered with magnificent concentration, stunning drive and show a real textural presence within a chiselled structure. Green apple, wet steel and chalky mineral elements also chime in. Threading the enormous volume of fruit is crunchy mineral infused acidity which provides a steely backbone. The finish exceptionally long, mouth filling and intense.
Drink over the next 6-8 years.

2022 Wittmann Morstein Riesling Grosses Gewachs

Bottle
$2760.00 Dozen

ABV: 13%

Closure: Cork

Other Reviews....
From the core parcels in the cru, the 2022 Morstein Westhofen Riesling GG is pure, intense and chalky on the elegant, dense and spicy, darker-toned nose that is still a bit untamed but deep and exciting, even with woodruff aromas! Enormously mineral and tannic on the palate, this is a full-bodied, rich and enormously complex, masculine and monolithic Riesling that needs a lot of time in the cellar to develop and refine. A highly promising Riesling! 12.5% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine in July 2023. Drink 2029-2050.

Stephan Reinhardt - Wine Advocate (Dec 30, 2023)
The 2022 Riesling Westhofener Morstein Grosses Gewächs opens with reduction, but vivid, pure and lifted lemon shines through. The following sniffs reveal lemon balm and dried crushed herbs suggesting coolness, serenity and more yeasty depth. The palate has a certain stoniness, an austerity, suggesting wet, chalky deep earth rather than deeper fruit. Graceful phenolics build the frame and coat the mouth. This only ever seems to point deeper into stone. Fine-boned yet powerful, the 2022 is a sleeper. This is endurance and solidity, unmoved by fruit. Austere but grand. (Bone-dry) Drink 2028-2050.

Breathtaking nose of pineapple chutney and curry leaf with giant leesy complexity, swirling together to create a great cloud of mystery. Then you descend into a deep pit of minerality. Almost supernatural freshness and energy on the blade runner sharp palate. Are you strong enough for this direct confrontation with the great God of wine? From biodynamically grown grapes with Respekt certification. Drinkable now, but best from 2025.

Rippling with exotic flower and fruit aromas, this remarkably concentrated Mosel Auslese also has a staggering brilliance thanks to the very racy acidity and wet stone minerality. What a silky texture the breathtakingly refreshing finish has! Wonderful passion fruit flavor here. Drink or hold.

Stuart Pigott - jamessuckling.com
The 2022er Bernkasteler Lay Riesling Auslese GK was made from shriveled rather than botrytized fruit and was fermented down to noble-sweet levels of residual sugar. It offers a beautifully restrained and almost non-saying nose at first, yet quickly shows superbly complex and captivating notes of fine exotic elements (mango, guava, passion fruit), smoke, whipped almond cream, yellow flowers, orange blossom, acacia, and cassis. The wine proves superbly refined and elegant on the layered and comparatively light-weighted palate. It gains presence and intensity as it unfolds and leaves a magnificent elegant and gorgeously creamy touch in the hugely long finish. What a splendid wine!

Jean Fisch and David Rayer - Mosel Fine Wines
The 2022 Riesling Bernkasteler Lay Auslese Goldkapsel was made with a small portion of botrytis, around 30%. Candied Mirabelle and white peach are still tempered by aromatic citrus, resulting in a picture of elegance, full of fruit but also of serene, smooth, tempered ripeness that just shimmers with Mirabelle, peach, Meyer lemon and supple, tempered, zesty, balanced sweetness. Botrytis is only evident in concentration and a touch of honey on the finish. (Sweet). Drink: 2025-2050.

The 2015 (Lieser) Niederberg Helden Riesling Auslese –Goldkapsel– (AP 14) is very intense and fine at the same time, with smoky and lemony flavors, a remarkable concentration and a perfume-like flavor of grapefruits. This wine is pure, piquant and concentrated, highly finessed, fresh and light on the palate. This is an intense, lush and elegant Auslese with a delicate and endlessly salty finish that reveals a very attractive grip and huge aging potential. With 7% alcohol and just a bit of botrytis.

2020 Selbach-Oster Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Riesling Kabinett

Mosel, GERMANY
$62. 99
Bottle
$755.88 Dozen

ABV: 9%

Closure: Stelvin

Selbach-Oster has a history in the wine trade dating back 1660, while the current winery was formed in the mid 1800's. Known for producing highly detailed and pure expressions of Riesling, Selbach-Oster have vines planted in some of the greatest sites in the Mosel, including Zeltinger Himmelreich, Schlossberg, and Sonnenuhr; Wehlener Sonnenuhr; and Graacher Himmelreich and Domprobst. Today, Johannes Selbach and his wife Barbara, with the increasing help of son Sebastian and daughter Hannah, manage their vineyards and winery with passion and respect for the estate’s long held traditions. Johannes, like his late father Hans, has continued the use of traditional oak fuder in his cellar, bringing in new large casks every few years. Vinification is carried out in a combination of fuder and stainless steel, in a hands-off manner with no fining, and predominantly with wild yeasts. The focus is on meticulous work in the vineyard with the aim to produce and bring home perfect fruit.
Other Reviews....
From the steep and shallow as well as warm part of the cru, with less fine soils than the Schlossberg, the 2020 Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Kabinett offers a clear, pure and stony bouquet with rocky and flinty notes. Lush and elegant, refined and complex on the palate, this is an expressive, finely grippy and salivating Sonnenuhr Kabinett that is not really in a Kabinett style, but it's gorgeous and has age-worthy quality. 9% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine in July 2022. Drink 2028 - 2060.

The 2020 Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Riesling Kabinett was fermented down to fruity-styled levels of residual sugar. It offers a beautiful nose of cassis, passion fruit, herbs, and spices. The wine proves subtle and racy on the palate and leaves a gorgeously intense feel of racy and zesty fruits in the nicely light-footed finish. The after-taste underlines the raciness and playful side of the wine. It may have a touch more presence that your usual Kabinett but makes this more than up through intensity and focus. Drink 2026-2040.

Fermented in stainless steel, the 2019 Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Riesling Trockenbeerenauslese is concentrated, deep and spicy on the nose that represents a perfectly selected botrytis. Rich and juicy-piquant on the palate, this is another highly finessed, elegant, rather lean and linear but balanced TBA with lingering salinity and mineral freshness thanks to the crystalline acidity from pure slate. Tasted at the domain in September 2020. Drink 2035 - 2100.

Mind-blowing concentration of dried exotic and stone fruit, but also stunning elegance, thanks to the brilliant acidity that also powers the super long finish. As delicious as this nobly sweet riesling masterpiece is, this really needs some years to reach its full, wide-screen glory. Very limited production. Better from 2022.

The 2019er Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Riesling Trockenbeerenauslese was made from 100% shrunken raisin fruit harvested at 194° Oechsle and fermented down to fully noble-sweet levels of residual sugar (340 g/l). An initial whiff of volatile acidity quickly gives way to an aromatic, powerful, and concentrated scents of toffee, mango, raisin, mirabelle, grapefruit, passion fruit, apricot, plum, and spices. The wine develops huge concentration and depth on the palate, where a kick of acidity lifts the flavors. Despite the sweetness at play, the wine remains utterly balanced thanks to a playful acidity, its grip, and structure. The finish has an outstanding intensity. We would not be surprised if this stunning TBA will not eventually merit a perfect rating at maturity, once it will have revealed its finesse: It is THAT impressive! Drink 2034-2069.

The lime-green/citrus colored 2019 Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Riesling Beerenauslese * needs some time in the glass and should be opened some hours before being served. The wine is intense and concentrated yet very clear, fresh and spicy, even flinty or slatey on the complex nose that represents very fine botrytis aromas. Rich and juicy on the dense and finely structured palate, this is a luxurious, intense, round and textured BA with a higher portion of botrytis berries, which give a more luscious fruit texture yet without a loss of finesse and precision.

The 2019er Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Riesling Kabinett was made from fruit harvested early in a cool parcel of the vineyard at 93° Oechsle and fermented down in stainless steel to full fruity-styled levels of residual sugar (62 g/l). It offers an aromatic and ripe nose of yellow peach, pear, almond milk, candied tangerine, star anise, and a hint of banana flambéed. The wine proves sweet and ripe on the palate, where the juicy fruits give it more than a hint of Spätlese Schmelz. This smooth and juicy side carries over into the long and structured finish. This fruity-styled wine will need a couple of years to integrate its sweetness and fully deliver upon its underlying finesse. Drink 2027-2039.

Brilliant water like core with a distinct greenish tinge running around the outskirts. Intense lime and lemon aromas are trailed by granny smith apple, orange rind, flinty steel and mineral notes. Not as tightly wound as is normally the case with this wine, the 2020 vintage is more expressive and opened textured delivering a powerful core of lemon, lime and orange fruits that show great concentration and weight across the palate. Light talc and steely mineral elements lie beneath. Finishes dry with mouth watering acidity and a long intensely flavoured aftertaste.

Seppelt came close to abandoning this vineyard in Henty 30 or so years ago due to variability of the crop, a problem no more. The perfumed fragrance is wonderful, at once light and intense. Citrus and apple blossom notes are quite special, and illuminate the very long palate and aftertaste. Drink by 2039.

This release will take some bottle age, for sure, but if you were looking for a young riesling to drink right now, this would make an excellent choice. It offers excellent upfront flavour, a semblance of texture, noteworthy push through the finish and a general, all-round deliciousness. Lime, apple juice, apple seeds and slate characters are the drivers but the specifics aren’t so important. It drinks a treat, and that’s the thing. Drink 2022-2027+

Gary Walsh – The Wine Front

The 2021 Eden Valley vintage rolls on and it is fantastic to see a return to form to the finer riesling style that Eden Valley does so well. This is quite the classic release – its seems at first a picture of restraint but then that understated power unfurls to whack you between the eyes. Super pale in colour before roses lime, pear and bath salt aromas – all tight and focussed. The palate then carries quite a punch – a powerful core of stony, citrus fruits plus fresh yet silky acidity which drives a long and thirst-quenching finish. Delicious and ready to drink now but will sing for a while yet.

Riesling in Australia.

Riesling is thought to have been introduced to New South Wales in the 1830s by the Macarthur's (pioneers of the Australian wool industry). German settlers brought the variety to the Barossa Valley in South Australia in the 1850's where the grape flourished. It's since found many new homes, such as Mt. Barker in Western Australia, the Clare Valley in South Australia, as well as Central and Southern Victoria. A tightrope of fruit and racy acidity when young, age-worthy examples develop honey and toast characteristics, sometimes accompanied by a distinct 'kerosene' note.
