2025 Forest Hill Estate Riesling

Forest Hill produced Great Southern's first Riesling, and still to this day it's one of the region's best.

This is sourced mostly from the old Block 2 vineyard, combined with some younger fruit from the Highbury Fields site. It's mostly whole-bunch pressed, with a small amount of lees contact for added complexity.

It's a juicy, citrusy, orchard-blossomy kind of wine, with a high refreshment factor and some minerally flair. All class and unbeatable value.

"A pretty riesling, soft textured, with lemon oil and mandarin juice, some blood orange elements, touches of floral perfume and faint Turkish delight in there, too. A little sweetness leads the wine, but feels just so with the brittle acidity. Good refreshment factor; strong riesling character. It works a treat in its simple, up-and-down way."
