2025 Dr. Edge Tasmania Riesling

Peter Dredge ("Dr. Edge") doesn't do boring Riesling. This pan-Tasmanian blend pulls together fruit from the North (Tamar Valley), South (Derwent Valley), and East (Coal River Valley) to create a wine that is as structural as it is refreshing.

It isn't your standard "squeaky clean" Tassie Riesling. Dredge leans into texture and complexity here, fermenting the juice naturally in a mix of clay amphora, old French oak casks, and stainless steel. The amphora component even includes whole clusters, adding a savoury, phenolic grip that sets this apart from the pack.

After six months on lees, it is bottled unfiltered with a small amount of residual sugar to balance the ripping acidity. The result is classic citrus and steel, but with "meat on the bones" - a layer of savoury funk and weight that makes it fascinating to drink. It is textured, complex, and a little bit wild.
