2025 Werkstatt Riesling - Mt Gambier, SA. 750ml
Bridget Mac is the winemaker, focussing on a single release again of riesling.
Tasting notes
The nose is very expressive with sherbet, musk and wet stone. In the citrus realm it's lemonade fruit and orange oil.
The Palate is showing an umami element, as well as white peach and orange peel. There is a driving acidity and a touch of salinity.
Terroir
The fruit for the 2025 Riesling is sourced from maritime, cool climate Mount Gambier. The soil profile is dominated by metamorphosed limestone. The vineyard is organically managed by viticulturists Mary and Guy Stratford.
Winemakers notes
A very dry season in Mount Gambier in 2025, and despite a warmer vintage across the Eastern Coast, temperatures in Gambier were average and contributed to a slow, cool ripening. The Mount Gambier Riesling has become our award winning hallmark Kabinett style. Known for its lively acidity, balanced by a carefully managed level of residual sugar. This wine was slowly fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel, it spends 2 months on gross lees and 2 months on fine lees. No fining before bottling.
