2024 Meadowbank Riesling

Meadowbank’s roots with Riesling go deep - literally. Vines were first planted here in 1974, and the site has quietly built a reputation as one of Tasmania’s finest. The 2024 vintage continues that line in style, recently taking out ‘Best 2024 Vintage Wine’ at the 2025 Tasmanian Wine Show.

The fruit comes from both the original ’74 vines and newer plantings of German clones, fermented separately in stainless steel (for freshness) and old French oak (for texture). Peter Dredge brings it all together in a wine that’s tight, racy and beautifully expressive.

It’s all about purity and balance - zingy citrus, green apple, floral lift and that unmistakable flinty Tassie edge. A touch of residual sugar rounds things out without dulling the acid drive, giving the wine tension, charm and serious drinkability.

Already in great shape but with plenty of ageing potential, the 2024 is another standout from this historic vineyard.

"Pure, taut citrus and apple fruits and a vivid, brisk mineral cadence. Finishes long and moreish.."
