A cracking Riesling from the Great Southern region in Western Australia, which is also seriously good value. 2025 is proving to be an excellent vintage. This is a regional selection, and fruit is sourced from three of the Great Southern sub-regions, Mount Barker, Porongurup and Frankland River. Each vineyard was made discretely in stainless steel tanks, with a long and cold fermentation. Pale lemon in colour, the nose gives us notes of citrus, florals, grapefruit pith, lemon curd, oyster shells and a minerally backing. The wine has focus, excellent balance and very good length, with good concentration throughout. A really impressive Riesling which is great buying, it has room for further improvement. Enjoy it over the next twelve to fifteen years.

You are now entering the Great Southern region where Riesling is queen. The scent says as much with its lifted lime, lemon and grapefruit citrus accompanied by apple blossom florals. So pretty.  This young ’25 Riesling has a decidedly delicate side so it is best not to over-chill. If you do, you will miss some of the nuance, the crystalline notes, the green apple brightness, the touch of grapefruit pith and the awakening of a lovely textural quality to the wine. Overall, a really compelling wine right now and dare I suggest well into the future. Past vintages certainly indicate as much – history is on your side with this lovely Rizza. Jeni Port

While the wine shows hallmark regional, racy and scintillating acidity, there's a bit more juiciness and bandwidth. Red apple, gingery spice, lime juice, some lemon curd and lemongrass characters as the talking points. Perhaps just a touch breathy and hot with acid, but a good deal of whipcrack and thirst-quenching nature nonetheless.
