Dukes Magpie Hill Riesling

Dukes Vineyard has a long-standing reputation for producing outstanding Rieslings, and the 2024 vintage continues this tradition with exceptional quality. The 2024 growing season in the Great Southern was characterised by warmer temperatures from late September through November, which accelerated the harvest by about four weeks. This warmth led to rapid sugar and flavour development in the grapes. Despite challenges like isolated frost and heat spikes, the Riesling from this vintage has demonstrated remarkable resilience, with the balance of natural acidity at harvest pointing to high-quality wine.

The Duke’s Magpie Hill 2024 Riesling presents a pale straw colour with green tints. On the nose, it reveals a vibrant mix of lime zest, Meyer lemon, and lemon sherbet, enhanced by subtle notes of cucumber and green melon.

On the palate, the wine offers flavours of lemon, lime, and delicate white citrus blossom, supported by a soft, powdery acidity that adds a pleasing texture. The finish is long and mineral-driven, showcasing the wine’s elegant structure and depth.

This Riesling pairs well with a range of dishes, including seafood such as grilled prawns or fresh oysters, and complements light salads or dishes with citrus-based sauces. Its vibrant acidity and mineral finish also make it a great match for spicy Asian cuisine, adding versatility to its food pairings.
