• Aromatics: The nose is fresh and delicate, with notes of lemon tuile, citrus flowers, mandarin zest, and a subtle hint of French Earl Grey tea.
• Palate: On the palate, this Riesling bursts with vibrant flavours of lemon sorbet, honey, and lemon-vanilla tea biscuits, offering a perfect balance of fruitiness and freshness.
• Finish: The crisp acidity provides a clean, fresh finish, with lingering citrus notes and a pleasant mouthfeel.

Food Pairing Suggestions

• Seafood: Perfect with fresh oysters, grilled prawns, or a crab salad, where the wine’s acidity complements the delicate seafood flavours.
• Salads: Enjoy with a fresh garden salad, featuring citrus dressing or herbs to enhance the wine’s crisp profile.
• Cheese: Pairs beautifully with creamy cheeses like goat cheese or a soft brie, balancing the acidity and fruitiness of the wine.
• Asian Dishes: Its freshness also makes it an excellent companion for light Asian dishes like sushi or Thai spring rolls.

Vineyard & Winemaking

The 2025 growing season in the Great Southern was dry, leading to one of the earliest harvests on record. The lack of rainfall resulted in reduced yields, but the fruit quality was exceptional, with excellent flavour concentration. The grapes were handpicked early in the morning to retain freshness, then gently pressed. The wine underwent fermentation in stainless steel to preserve the purity and finesse of the Riesling fruit, while also maintaining freshness and vibrancy.

Oak Maturation: None – fermented and matured entirely in stainless steel to preserve the wine’s bright, fresh character.
Fermentation: Slow fermentation at low temperatures, preserving the natural aromatics and enhancing the freshness of the fruit.
Harvest: Hand-harvested early in the morning to capture the purest fruit expression, ensuring the wine’s vibrant flavours.

I have been buying my wines from Kirk for about two years now and I have never had a bad experience or wine. I love the fact that the wines are all West Australian, so supporting local and lower carbon footprint. He delivers when it’s convenient for me and brings the wine to my door.  Wines are all good quality and well priced, especially the cleanskins. Highly recommended

I've been ordering from Partners in Wine for three years now - from the UK for my sister living in Perth. Each time they've been bang on with my order including  on time delivery. Kirk has also helped me select my wines from an extensive list.  A very pleasant and friendly company to deal with. I would highly recommend them.
