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.

Dried flowers, toast and some early development to sniff. The colour is light straw-yellow, also seeming a tad forward. It’s a soft, dry, slightly fuller flavoured wine, with a youthful crispness and good balanced acidity. This has some richness as well as grip and density, and would handle stronger foods.

2024 Vignerons Schmolzer & Brown Obstgarten T Riesling

King Valley, Victoria, AUSTRALIA
$39. 99
Bottle
$479.88 Dozen

ABV: 12%

Closure: Stelvin

Vignerons Schmölzer & Brown is the partnership of winemaker-viticulturist Tessa Brown and architect Jeremy Schmölzer, crafting wines from high-altitude vineyards in Beechworth and the King Valley. Their estate vineyard, Thorley, sits over 700m ASL and is farmed with organic practices in all but the most challenging years. Working with minimal intervention, they focus on purity, balance, and drinkability. The range includes single-site wines from Thorley, Brunnen, and Obstgarten, as well as their approachable Prêt-à series.
From Whitlands’ second-highest altitude Riesling vineyard (800m), planted in the late 1980s by the Croucher family among orchards and walnut trees. These mature, unirrigated, close-planted vines yield naturally high-acid, late-ripening fruit. Crafted in a German Trocken style, this single-site Riesling is crisp, pure, and aromatic, with the precision, lift, and minerality that only high-altitude viticulture can deliver.

“Kabinett” ripeness with a portion of skin contact to build texture. King Valley riesling gets serious and it's next level stuff. There's a super fineness of expression, a delicacy, a purity to be explored here. Bristles in grapefruit, lemon fruits and green pear, lifted nicely by white florals and a splash of spice. Dry and crisp with filigree fine acidity. Drink 2025-2034.

Jeni Port - Halliday's Australian Wine Companion
This is a dry riesling though there’s plenty of give, or body, to the fruit. In fact in riesling terms it’s big on texture, and with it an associated impression of character. It tastes of lime, orange, slate, tonic water and fennel, with crushed herb and floral characters an important part of the wine’s show, as indeed is a yeasty hay-like note. It feels both clean and dirty, in a good way. It has excellent intensity and length. Drink 2025 - 2031+

Campbell Mattinson - The Wine Front
This is understandably nervy on opening but is quick to settle into a harmonious mix of homemade lemonade, tonic, lime pith, Makrut lime leaf and peach blossom start, followed by subtle nashi pear, green apple, slate, chalk and a glimmer of cinnamon. It’s zesty, lifted, fresh and bright. The palate balances texture and tautness nicely, with 5 grams of residual sugar here sitting in wonderful balance. Lemon rind and green apple sit above hints of white peach and kumquat with a shot of mineral presence through the core and a nice bite of preserved lemon phenolics gripping the sides and drawing length. Classic acidity cleans up and elongates the zesty fruit. The wine’s purity, texture, sugar and structure work together to make a Riesling of balance and interest. Another strong release. 210 dozen bottled.

There’s Germanic (or Austrian) inspiration in this wine and it holds 25 grams of sugar, and well.
Juicy, fresh, vibrant wine. Has some nice slipperiness to texture, ripe green apple, light honey notes, crunchy acidity. It moves across the palate with a clip, shows tingly acidity to close. It has high (and wild!) drinkability written all over it. It’s well-judged in acid and sugariness. It’s a good wine.

Apple, lime and almond inform the nose and silken palate of this brightly refreshing bottling that, at 17 grams of residual sugar, exhibits the sort of hidden sweetness that proves especially efficacious when pairing with diverse cuisine. The slate-lined finish is animatingly as well as refreshingly sustained. (The registration number has been noted so as to distinguish this bottling from an eponymous liter bottling.) Drink 2019 - 2020.

David Schildknecht - Vinous
The 2017er Saar Riesling (as it is indicated on the consumer label) comes from the Wiltinger Klosterberg, Krettnacher Euchariusberg and Oberemmeler Karlsberg, and was fermented down to barely off-dry levels (17 g/l of residual sugar). This offers a beautifully racy and comparatively pure nose of pear, vineyard peach, white flowers, some herbal elements and smoky slate. The wine is beautifully light-footed and playful on the nicely zesty and delicately creamy palate and leaves a nicely fruity and mouthwatering feel in the long and engaging finish. This is a gorgeous off-dry Riesling to enjoy mindlessly over the coming years. Now-2022.

ABV: 13%

Closure: Cork

Other Reviews....
From a picture-book vintage with an inhomogeneous flowering in later June and picked over two weeks between September 24 and October 7th (beautiful sunshine all the time), the Siefersheim 2020 Heerkretz Riesling GG opens with a discreet but deep and substantial, finely mineral or herbal and flinty/reductive bouquet with intensity and sur lies notes as well as those of broken stones. Round, refined and very elegant on the palate, with fine tannins and crystalline, saline acidity, this is a generous but classical Heerkretz of great substance and mouth-tickling grip and acidity. Fruity and non-fruity components are in superb balance here, and the finish is salivating. I wish I had some bottles of this wine in my cellar. Do not pass up buying it if you ever have the chance. 13% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted from magnum in August 2023. Drink 2023 - 2050.

Stephan Reinhardt - Wine Advocate (Jan 12, 2024)
This is so delightful in the nose, but there are so many dimensions to the aromas that it's not easy to grasp this, without sinking into this enormously complex wine. The aromas range from leaves and flowers, dripping after a tropical downpour, to ripe stone fruit, all the shades of citrus zest and delicate spice Tightly wound on the very concentrated, silky palate with minerality that's almost off the scale. So saline and so mouthwatering at the super-long finish. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold.

What a stunning nose of ripe white and yellow peach, pineapple and grapefruit with a slew of spicy and herbal notes! But that barely prepares you for the breathtaking interplay of super-mineral acidity and the spectacular fruit. All of this is underlined by wonderful salinity that makes this riesling GG almost supernaturally refreshing. So uplifting at the precise and vibrant finish! From organically grown grapes.

‘My first attempt at riesling. No idea who to make it so I rang a good mate Tom Barry. Said if you have some old foudre just press it dirty, minimal clarification and ferment it in the old large vat. That’s what we did, sees 12 hours skin contact, then fermented in Austrian foudre’. Pretty much ideal from where I sit! Though I’d probably go to 48 hours skin contact, but hey… anyways, what a coup. From Yea Valley.
Stellar drinking, easy appeal, riesling DNA strong and lots of character and detail on offer. For the acid hounds amongst us, the acidity is super bright. For those seeking textural oomph and grip, that’s there too. For those after perfume, juiciness, a cavalcade of mixed citrus fruit, juice and pith, well, guess what, its also in the mix. It’s quite a bold expression in all this going on. And in that, complex, energetic, wickedly drinkable and generally very clever as a wine. At $20 RRP? Pretty much the best riesling in the country from where I sit. Ludicrous! Drink 2022 - 2030.

The DJW vineyard was planted by John and son Daniel Wilson in 1997. At the time, the aim was to produce additional fruit for the successful Wilson Polish Hill River Riesling but the vineyard had other ideas. From the first vintage it was immediately obvious that the DJW vineyard was quite different from the Polish Hill River vineyard. The grapes and bunches were larger and the vineyard produced a spectrum of flavours that had their own unique qualities. As a consequence a new Riesling was born and was named after the single vineyard from where it originates, the DJW.
Brilliant water like core with highlights of green around the outskirts. Intense lime juice, lemon and orange rind aromas bound out of the glass with terrific intensity complimented by some talc, green apple and slatey mineral notes.

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.

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. These old vines on very wide rows produce exceptional fruit with complex flavours and aromatics. 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. 2021 was a cool but relatively dry vintage resulting in near perfect grape growing conditions.
A magnificent Riesling from a great vintage.
Brilliant water like colour with greenish tinged edges. Pronounced lime juice, citrus and orange rind scents fill the nostrils with some distinct talc, wet steel and chalky mineral characters ensuing. Explosive lime, citrus and green apple fruits burst across the palate with superb intensity, overlaying a back drop of orange rind, chalky mineral and wet steel characters. Outstanding power with crunchy acidity providing great structure and focus to the exceptionally long and concentrated finish.
Drink over the next 6-8 years.

Closure: Stelvin

The DJW vineyard was planted by John and son Daniel Wilson in 1997. At the time, the aim was to produce additional fruit for the successful Wilson Polish Hill River Riesling but the vineyard had other ideas. From the first vintage it was immediately obvious that the DJW vineyard was quite different from the Polish Hill River vineyard. The grapes and bunches were larger and the vineyard produced a spectrum of flavours that had their own unique qualities. As a consequence a new Riesling was born and was named after the single vineyard from where it originates, the DJW.

Brilliant water like core with greenish tinged edges. Uplifted lime juice, green apple and orange rind scents fill the nostrils followed by light talc and mineral notes. The palate carries great power boasting intense lime, citrus and orange rind fruits which sit over a back drop of talc, sherbet and subtle slatey mineral characters. Fresh crunchy acidity leads into a long mouth watering finish of lime, lemon sherbet, orange rind, talc and slate.

Superb length with a dry crisp finish and very long lemon, lime, green apple, chalky talc and steely mineral aftertaste. A highlight of the outstanding 2017 vintage.

A wine of exceptional intensity, purity and length that counterintuitively hides its power in a velvet glove. Its citrus is unsweetened lemon, acidity riding shotgun on the long finish. A great riesling from a great vintage. Drink by 2040.

Wilson’s Polish Hill River Riesling is sourced from their oldest vineyards planted 40 years ago. Its miniscule yields typically produce a wine rich in citrus fruits within a steely structure and tight with lots of minerality. After the cool and damp 2017 vintage, 2018 produced a more classic Clare vintage.

A perfect synergy of electrifying lime and citrus fruit, steely structure and mouth watering acidity.

Brilliant very pale water like colour with a greenish tinged outskirts. Intense lime and citrus top notes overlay granny smith apple, subtle talc, wet steel and chalky mineral scents.

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?

ABV: 12.5%

The 2021 Morstein Riesling GG offers a deep and intense yet pure, nuanced, fresh and highly complex bouquet of crushed limestone, even chalk intertwined with bright, lemon fruit aromas. This bouquet is nothing less than spectacular in all its purity, subtle intensity and depth. The palate is silky, pure and saline, beautifully fine and fresh, very elegant and long yet still discreet and reduced in its expression. However, this is a chalky and lemony Mortsein from a cool year that will gain texture and complexity with bottle age. This will turn out to be a classic, and I can only recommend to buy more than you might think to buy based on the conservative score. 12.5% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine in August 2022. Drink 2028 - 2050.

As deep and dense as it is subtle and mysterious, this very youthful 2021 GG is like a great ocean liner just setting off on a journey across the North Atlantic.

The 2021 Kirchspiel Riesling GG offers a nose to fall in love with: pure, intense, highly elegant and refined, like a Chablis based on perfectly ripe and pure Riesling fruits. It is incredibly chalky yet also lush and tropical in its fruit and intertwined with yeasty notes. Full-bodied, round and elegant on the palate, this is a lush and salty-savory, very stimulating yet quietly textured Kirchspiel whose acidity is really delicate and elegant and just holding the texture instead of cutting through it. If I had to bring a German Riesling to Alsace producers (who usually don't favor German Rieslings due to their malic acidity and reduction), Wittmann's Kirchspiel would be the one to choose. It is a very elegant and balanced wine that is based on five plots, of which one vat underwent malolactic during the alcoholic fermentation. 12.5% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine in August 2022. Drink 2022 - 2038.

If you have enough patience, this will turn into one of the greatest dry rieslings of the vintage.

A hedonistic interpretation of Morstein. As usual, Philipp Wittmann has used both the potential of the site with its clay marl and limestone soil as well as the potential of Riesling to create a wine with great personality. It juggles herbal notes of amber and woodruff with ripe, juicy lime, apricot and peach fruit. Boasting soft, refined acidity, it is both graceful and generous at the same time.

Let go of the narrow human world and fall into this expansive dry riesling that busts out of the conventional framework for the grape variety. And that's what makes it so difficult to describe. However, there is certainly more yellow fruit (mirabelle, but also a hint of pineapple) than white (some ripe pear) and the minerality is huge, yet totally precise and delicate. The finish really doesn't want to stop! From biodynamically grown grapes with Respekt certification.

The 2019 Aulerde Riesling GG is enormously chalky and flinty on the rich and spicy yet pure, refreshing, deep and fruity nose. Silky textured, fresh and elegant on the palate, this is a complex, structured, very elegant and juicy but linear and persistently mineral dry Riesling with remarkable purity and tension. The tension and grip of the 2019s offer impressive proof that Wittmann more and more manages to make the Aulerde a real Grosses Gewächs. However, the distance to the exceptional Westhofener 1G is smaller than to the Morstein GG.

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. Generally suited to cooler climates, examples from Grosset, Petaluma, Wilson Polish Hill, Dukes, Western Australia and Best's Great Western, Victoria are all worth seeking out.
