A real insider’s wine, or another best kept secret, Great Western produces aromatic, flavoursome yet structured and spectacularly age-worthy Rieslings which stand confidently alongside their more famous South Australian cousins. The Great Western region lends itself well to producing exceptional Riesling – its diurnal weather patterns (warm days / cold nights) work well for the varietal. Some of our original nursery plantings can be traced back to Germany so there is a significant history and pedigree in the root stock of Great Western Riesling

The aromatic Riesling juice is given extended skin contact then wild fermented in large oak Foudre (barrels)

This wine exhibits both the complexities of a barrel ferment and spontaneous fermentation without overt oak flavour due to the large size and subtlety of the Foudre.

Pale yellow with green hues. White jasmine, blossom with apricot and yellow stone fruits. Fresh apricot, yellow peach and yellow nectarine fills the front palate followed by lychee, passionfruit sorbet, lime zest and lemon rind.
