Picked earlier than usual, resulting in lower alcohol and a fresh, natural acidity that makes this wine incredibly mouth-watering. Medium golden yellow in colour, with the usual aromatic citrus notes. Bone dry, yet a soft, lingering sweetness evolves - think honey, or lemon and sugar on pancakes.

Screw-cap sealed | 11.5% alc/vol

Time of release
Brilliant yellow colour with the usual aromatic citrus notes. Occasional lees stirring during fermentation gives a weighted riesling with a long finish. Think lemon in all its form, juice, zest and pith. Underlining limes and slight peachy fruit characters, finishing with a hint of viscosity. A wine to drink now but the natural zingy acidity gives this wine long lasting potential.

Brilliant light yellow with a tinge of green in the glass.

With a very dry winter and spring, the 2016 vintage exhibits the usual citrus characteristics, but with even more power and depth.

With its refreshing acidity, coupled with delicious citric flavours of lemon and lime, this is a cleansing, powerful aperitif that leads beautifully into the first course, particularly full flavoured seafood with a slice of lemon.

Last year I commended the 2003 vintage as the best Jasper Hill Riesling ever, but this one is even better, with greater intensity. Tropical/ citrus/ green apple and floral aromas with an ultra-dry, crisp natural acid palate. The risky practice of indigenous (wild) yeast fermentation of aromatic white varieties is now our preference, resulting in even more complexity in the wine. 12 percent.

More floral again this year, accompanied by the usual lemon/lime/citrus tang and dry finish that distinguishes this wine.

Our Riesling has always been very dry. This vintage, with its excellent late ripening conditions, is no exception. Powerful lime and lemon characters, with a floral intensity, dominate the aroma and palate. A long finish with a cleansing zesty acidity, makes it an ideal aperitif, whilst the mid palate weight allows it to accompany more fuller flavoured dishes than just seafood. It should age well, if you like an aged Riesling. 12% alcohol.

Simply the best since out first in ’84. For those who like their Riesling dry, this is it. Obviously youthful, its colour exhibits a light green tinge with a floral/lime aromaticity that believes its crisp acid, dry palate. A great match now with a delicate dish (how about plain boiled yabbies) this wine like previous releases, will flesh out in time. Cellar potential 3-5 years.

One hundred percent estate grown Riesling. Again, a bone dry, steely acid style, with a touch more varietal nose and colour than previous Georgia’s Paddock Riesling releases. Our Bank Manager makers no apologise for its age and neither do we! Great now with delicately flavoured food or cellar for a couple of years if you are that way inclined.

The grey, solemn label says it all. A small parcel of high quality unirrigated Central Victorian Riesling grapes was offered by the Roberts family of Bridgewater-On-Loddon to partially offset the burnt crop. The resulting wine is outstanding – very flowery, perfumed aromatic nose; bone dry, young, flinty acid firmness. Only 140 cases produced.

Time of release
Our first white wine, which Sarah Gough (Melb , Age, 11 Sep 84) described as a “delightful, steely, dry, austere yet intensely spicy and fresh Riesling.” Now with a few more months of bottle age, this wine is rounding out nicely. Drink now or cellar for several years if you like bottle complexed whites.
