Tasting Notes

The 2025 Block 2 Riesling opens with a brilliant nose of citrus zest, grapefruit, and a touch of yellow fruit, all underpinned by a distinct mineral backbone reminiscent of wet stones. On the palate, it delivers a racy and textured experience, balanced by vibrant lime and apple blossom notes that give way to an invigorating, finely-tuned acidity. The extended lees contact adds depth and intensity, resulting in a wine that’s both youthful and poised, with a crystalline texture and a piercing character that suggests great ageing potential.

Perfect Pairings

The Block 2 Riesling is a versatile food companion. Its fresh acidity and fruit-forward profile make it an ideal match for fresh seafood like grilled prawns or oysters on the half shell. It also pairs beautifully with spicy Thai or Japanese dishes, where the wine’s fruitiness balances the bold and zesty flavours. For something a little different, try it with a light salad, creamy goat cheese, or even a dish like glazed duck or pork, where its acidity enhances the richness of the flavours.

Awards:

Wine Companion – 95 Points
“A bright and juicy version of the variety, vibrant and cooling, citrusy in a pretty way. Some rosy lift and a general sense of lemongrass and ginger brightness in the mix. So even, flowing, deeply flavoursome. A pleasing and generous style of riesling, unashamed of its origins and feeling pure and natural as it goes. Delicious. Serious. Complex”
96 Points – Barry Weinman (Fine Wine Club)

Technical Terms Explained

Lees Contact: The process of allowing the wine to sit in contact with the dead yeast cells after fermentation. This adds texture, complexity, and depth to the wine, contributing to the creamy mouthfeel and enhanced flavour profile.
Minerality: A term used to describe the earthy, stone-like qualities found in certain wines, particularly those from regions with high-quality soils. The mineral backbone of this Riesling gives it a distinct, refreshing edge.
Acidity: Acidity is one of the key elements that give Riesling its signature freshness. The crisp, mouthwatering acidity in this wine helps balance its fruitiness and enhances its food-pairing potential.
Terroir: Refers to the unique combination of soil, climate, and environment that influences the characteristics of the wine. The distinct terroir of Block 2, with its gravelly loam soils and the cooler Mount Barker climate, helps produce Riesling of exceptional purity and complexity.

Forest Hill Winery: A Pioneer of Cool Climate Wines in Western Australia

Forest Hill Winery holds a significant place in the history of Western Australia’s wine industry, recognized as the first cool climate vineyard established in the region. Its story begins in the 1960s when Tony and Betty Pearce, after extensive research throughout the South-West, identified a site with immense potential for grape cultivation. In 1965, they planted a modest two-hectare vineyard on their property, laying the foundation for what would become a prominent name in Australian winemaking.

Fifty years later, Forest Hill Winery remains family-owned and operated, reflecting a deep-rooted commitment to quality and tradition. The winery crafts its wines in Denmark, a charming coastal town not far from the vineyard, with grapes sourced exclusively from the historic Forest Hill Vineyard in Mount Barker. This commitment to the original site not only honors the winery’s heritage but also allows for the expression of unique terroir in every bottle.

The Unique Terroir of Great Southern

Located in the Great Southern wine region, Forest Hill Winery benefits from the cool climate that defines this area. The region, characterized by its rugged landscapes and pristine environment, experiences a maritime influence that contributes to its cooler temperatures compared to other parts of Western Australia. This climate is vital for producing high-quality wines, as it allows for a longer ripening period, leading to enhanced flavor development in the grapes.

The soils at Forest Hill are primarily lateritic gravelly and sandy loams, as well as sandy loams derived from granite bedrock. These soil types are well-draining and rich in minerals, providing the ideal foundation for vines to thrive. The combination of cool climate and diverse soil types results in distinctive fine wines that capture the essence of the land and its environment.

Varietals and Winemaking Philosophy

Forest Hill Winery is renowned for its range of varietals that showcase the benefits of cool climate viticulture. Among the standout varieties are Riesling, Chardonnay, Shiraz & Cabernet, each reflecting the unique characteristics of the site. Riesling, in particular, has garnered acclaim for its aromatic complexity and crisp acidity, embodying the purity of fruit that cool climates can produce. The Chardonnays are often noted for their elegance and balance.

The winery’s winemaking philosophy is deeply rooted in respect for the land and the seasons. Each wine is a reflection of the site, the season, and the dedicated people who nurture the vines. This hands-on approach allows the team to maintain the integrity of the grapes, ensuring that the wines express the true character of the vineyard.

Sustainability and Future Directions

As Forest Hill Winery looks to the future, sustainability remains a core principle. The winery is committed to environmentally responsible practices, from vineyard management to winemaking techniques. This focus not only enhances the quality of the wines but also contributes to the long-term health of the vineyard and surrounding ecosystem.
