Clonakilla Riesling is an unsung hero of Tim Kirk's stable of beautiful wines. Herbal with white flowers aromas with citrus and stone fruit bouquet, it has a clean, ripe fruit and zesty finish.

Lark Hill sits high a top the Canberra District wine region, some 840m above sea level. This altitude allows their fragrant aromatic whites to truly sing. The Riesling is brilliantly restrained which can be tasted in the overt mineral nature of the wine. Lively citrus blossom with white flowers can also be seen.

The Eden Hall Cabernet Sauvignon from the Eden Valley is a wonderfully striking Cabernet with swathes of lifted violets, ripe plums and blackcurrant all supported by a quality oak regime that has integrated brilliantly. While youthful the wine is plump and juicy, it will age very nicely and improve with some careful cellaring over the next decade.

Steve has always loved Riesling and in a formative moment early in his career in a well know Adelaide bar he was introduced to and subsequently fell hard for a German Riesling made by J.J Prum. You could say from that moment on a Riesling was always on the cards and all that was needed was the right opportunity. Aromas of lime marmalade, white flowers, bees wax and ginger with a sweet green apple and lime cordial palate.Light, rippling texture, dangerously slippery, promotes a swallowing reflex that soon sees the bottle emptied. The green apple acidity lengthens the palate and the finish dances with alpine strawberry. Poised and balanced acidity and sweetness.

If you haven't tried German Riesling in all its glory, one of the truly great vinous experiences, well here's a magnificent place to start! A true legend of his native German homeland, not to mention the world of fine wine, Ernst Loosen is capable of extraordinary things when it comes to the noble Riesling grape. The esteemed Bernkasteler Lay vineyard, located literally a stone's throw from the Mosel River, has a reputation for producing opulent wines, full of texture and unprecedented character. As per the norm, exquisite acidity rounds out gentle sweetness on a palate glistening with delicate floral, apple, citrus and gentle stone fruit characters.

This cuvée is a blend of fruit from high altitude Estate vineyards - including the brilliantly named Sandgrub vineyard - dotted around the village. There's a good dollop of Wasseros too, a fine vineyard which wraps around the Gräfenberg Grosse Lage. We've had some great bottles of this wine over the years, but few with the kind of horsepower on offer here. Racy and cool, with citrus and ripe stone fruit, yet balanced by fabulous, mouth-watering acidity; this is the sort of wine that will make Riesling lovers shudder with pleasure. Robert Weil doesn't make 'entry level' wines, as this clearly shows.

The cooler climate of Tasmania has helped to produce a wonderful Riesling; full of flavour and acid. Given these characters are in abundance, this wine should cellar for decades.

Frogmore Creek from Southern Tasmania is about as pure an expression of cool climate Riesling on could hope to find. A beautifully structured Riesling with elegant citrus flavours and vibrant acidity. Put it away for a while and reap the rewards.

This outstanding Riesling has subdued lavender, fresh herb aromas, lemon blossom while the palate is soft round and smoothed out by a touch of sweetness that is deep and lingering. Before being grasped by a clenched fist of acidity.. The finish is taunt, ultra-crisp with a whisper of sweetness before the zesty dry grip takes over.

This is a single site Riesling from the gently north-facing slopes of the Estate"s second vineyard at Watervale. It has subdued, lavender, fresh herb aromas, lemon blossom while the palate is soft, round and smoothed out by a touch of sweetness that is deep and lingering, before being grasped by a clenched fist of acidity, pulling it tight and tingly. The finish is taut, ultra-crisp with a whisper of sweetness before the zesty dry grip takes over. Enjoy now or cellar up to 10 years.
