From the vibrant, zesty acidity of its youth, to the honey and stone fruit notes that follow 10+ years of cellaring, Riesling is certainly a complex varietal. Prized for its pure representation of terroir, Riesling leaves very little room for error in the vineyard or the winery. Here you’ll find a number of celebrated producers who have reached the level of mastery this varietal demands, including Penfolds, Leo Buring and Seppelt.

Riesling is regarded as one of the finest white wine grapes in the world and is even referred to by many as “The King”. Much of the ado about Riesling comes from its incredible versatility, with winemakers able to explore a range of styles from bone-dry to unctuously sweet. The varietal is also popular for its age-worthiness, with a dramatic evolution taking place over the course of a decade. We truly believe that a life well lived is one that has experienced a quality Riesling at over 10 years of age. Thankfully this varietal is equally adored in its absolute youth – not all of us have the patience.
