2025 Riesling
The Ellis family vineyards lie in the Mount Gambier GI, located in the Kongorong area southwest of the township Mount Gambier.
The proximity to the Southern Ocean provides the coolest maritime climate of mainland Australia, this cool climate extends the ripening of fruit throughout Autumn, ideal for accumulation of flavour and optimum ripening.
The vineyards are planted in fractured limestone, this flinty surface contributes to the mineral elements and the hint of gun smoke character in the wine.
Reviews
"A crystal-clear nose with electrifying energy: tangy lime and yuzu, bright tangerine, fragrant orange blossom, talc, and a crunchy note of green apple. The palate opens razor-sharp, building mid-palate tension and launching the primary fruit skyward like a cannonball, then exploding into a mix of stone fruit, candied ginger, frangipani, and beeswax. It’s a Riesling with an incredible aromatic accent, but that zappy line of acidity keeps everything in check."
