Cat Amongst the Pigeons, our story is a recipe of vision, courage and the unordinary. A wine range that exists to do things differently, walking a few steps ahead and unafraid to ruffle a few feathers along the way. This Riesling offers citrus aromas followed by lemon and lime flavours with a crisp refreshing palate.

Freya Riesling is a pristine bone dry style with piercing racy acidity and delicate lime and floral notes. The Riesling is sourced from the Eden Valleys high Eden sub-region. The fruit is whole bunch pressed with only the free run juice retained. Cool fermentation retains the wines fruit purity and delicacy.

The fruit is from a Kirrihill owned vineyard in Watervale called “Slate Creek”, planted in the 1970’s. As you guessed, the vines are sitting on slate, which gives incredible results, the fruit has great concentration of flavour and minerality on the palate. The 2025 season was excellent for Riesling, we are super happy with how the wines are shaping up. The vines maintained very healthy canopies throughout the dry summer, and the vineyard team kept up with consistent and generous irrigation to meet the perfect ripening conditions. Picking at cool temperatures and quick transportation will avoid picking up colour, oxidation, maceration and therefore loss of quality, flavour and acidity.

This premium Riesling is fresh with crisp apple and zesty citrus aromas. With complexity of flavour, balanced by natural acidity and a dry finish.

Riposte by Tim Knappstein The Scimitar Riesling 2024 (Clare Valley) showcases the region’s signature Riesling style, crafted by third-generation winemaker Tim Knappstein. Sourced from a prized vineyard east of Watervale, this wine highlights exotic lime fruit, lily blossom, and heady floral aromas, with a palate marked by deep lime core, spicy acidity, and a chalky, fairy dust-like finish.

The Heggies vineyard situated in the hills above the Barossa Valley produces tightly structured classic Rieslings which can be appreciated young or cellared to achieve richer, complex flavours.
