Mount Barker Riesling

Crisp ~ Floral ~ Lime

From the heart of the Mount Barker subregion in Western Australiaโ€™s Great Southern, this Riesling comes exclusively from Block 6 of the Langton Vineyard, just a few hundred metres from the winery. The 2025 vintage delivered a cool, late start and a long, even ripening period, allowing exceptional fruit balance and delicacy. Hand-selected parcels were harvested at night to preserve freshness and cold-fermented to showcase the pure lime and floral characters that define this classic style.
