2025 *White Heart* Riesling

“After a few years of working with this site, I have realised that sometimes climate and vintage need a winemaker to intervene. It’s not easy trying to make wine with just what’s in the vineyard when you have no control, but what I have learnt is I must be present to capture great Victorian Riesling. My greatest passion in life is making Riesling and I think this site expresses granite, altitude and place in a way that is so special, I feel privileged to work with it. 2025 was extremely hot, which makes it difficult to make wines with tension. So, I took this wine, and I split it into three parts, and I built it back together to create what I believe is balance. Sometimes a winemaker must be the voice, and sometimes the vineyard is the voice, we need to work hand in hand.”
