2025 Bannockburn Riesling

97 POINTS

Philip Rich - Halliday Wine Companion

Made mainly from 0.4ha of vines planted in 1976. A light, bright green gold. A delicate and complex bouquet of just-picked white peach, grapefruit, lemongrass and flowers. The palate is just as delicate and vibrant, finishing dry and very long. The balance of fruit and acidity is nigh on perfect. A gorgeous wine from go to whoa!

Erin Larkin - Robert Parker Wine Advocate

The 2025 Riesling leads with an ultra aromatic bouquet: a profusion of white flowers (jasmine in summer, honeysuckle, sweet pea), green apple and even a hint of lychee. It is so perfumed and pretty. In the mouth, the wine is fleshy and yet fine. This is a resoundingly gorgeous wine. The acidity is pulled taut like a guitar string, yet it sits harmoniously within the wine. 12% alcohol, sealed under screw cap.

James Suckling

A lovely release with floral-edged aromas of citrus blossoms, lemons, white flowers, lanolin and pears. The palate is textural, with great fruit density and vibrant acidity that carries both weight and a mineral-edged backbone without being too broad. Nicely constructed, with a few grams of sugar bringing balance to the acidity.

Campbell Mattinson - The Wine Front

Riesling was among the original vines planted in 1976 at Bannockburn near Geelong. This wine is mostly grown on those original vines with some extra input from a block planted near the winery in 2015. Lovely wine. Lovely flavour and mouthfeel. Apples, citrus, lime leaf and white flowers with a slatey bite to the finish. No hesitation. Feels soft. Tastes good. Extends well.
