Steingarten Eden Valley Riesling was the first Riesling of its kind in Australia, setting the benchmark for cool-climate Riesling for the past 50 years. A superb modern Australian dry Riesling which will richly reward patient and careful cellaring for up to 10 years.

The 2020 Springton Riesling was carefully blended from 3 different blocks within the Avon Brae vineyard. (56% Block 11, 26% Block 10, 19% Block 8) It is bright pale straw and shows tropical fruits and rose petal on the nose. The palate is broad and full with lime over a long line of lemon. An enticing Eden Valley Riesling drinking well now but built to last.

Established in 1893, Leasingham was a founding winery of the Clare Valley, crafting wine for nearly 120 years.

Feire and Feiern, named aptly to evoke celebration and festivity in German, offer a delightful journey into the world of sparkling wines crafted with precision and tradition. Feire, a sparkling blanc des blancs, invites enthusiasts into the realm of pure elegance. Made exclusively from the white grape, Chardonnay, it embodies freshness and finesse. Its creation through the méthode traditionelle, where secondary fermentation occurs in the bottle, followed by aging on lees for three years, results in a wine of complexity and depth. This process lends Feire a characteristic creamy texture and nuanced flavors that unfold with every sip, making it an ideal companion for joyous occasions. On the other hand, Feiern, a Cuvee Noir, celebrates with a blend that exudes richness and vibrancy. Crafted from a blend of red grapes, Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon, it promises a palate of red fruit notes intertwined with the signature effervescence of traditional method sparkling wines. Aged on lees for three years, Feiern develops a captivating bouquet and a refined structure that amplifies its role in festive gatherings and special moments. Both wines, steeped in the heritage of méthode traditionelle, offer not only a taste of luxury but also a tribute to meticulous craftsmanship. Their names reflect not just the Zerk sisters German heritage, but also a commitment to enhancing celebratory occasions with sparkling wines that are as delightful as they are memorable. Whether it's the purity of Feire's blanc des blancs or the exuberance of Feiern's Cuvee Noir, these sparkling wines embody the essence of celebration in every effervescent bubble.

The 2019 (Feire) Blanc De Blancs Sparkling was made using an intricate process called Méthode Traditionnelle—the same time-honored approach used to make French Champagne. The Chardonnay fruit was picked early and sourced from the cool climate of Eden Valley, a high altitude sub-region in the Barossa. The freshly pressed juice is immediately settled and cold fermented in stainless steel. The base wine is tiraged and yeast is introduced into the bottle with sugar for a sec ondary fermentation under pressure (which creates the fine bead of bubbles). This wine was ‘En Tirage’ for three years where the secondary characters developed in the wine. It was hand-riddled in 2022 and disgorged in December the same year. The wine is ready to drink, but it will age gracefully for approximately 5 years. This Chardonnay cuvee is the epitome of finesse and elegance. (Colour) Medium straw (Nose) Freshly baked bread with grapefruit and white musk top-notes and mineral undertones (Palate) The Chardonnay grapes are picked early, when sugar levels are lower and acid levels are higher achieving balance and a crisp, flinty taste, on the palate. Since it is a vintage wine that has been aged on lees the complexity of flavours include lemon cream, honey, almond and toast - an impressive flavour profile whilst retain ing freshness and vibrant bubbles. The consistent fine bead is also noteworthy re sulting in a special offering and well beyond your standard Australian sparkling wine.

With its fresh, intense lemon tonic, pear, apple, oyster shell aromas, superb lemon curd richness, persistence and minerality, Crawford River Riesling reflects the modern idiom of the Riesling style. The dry-grown vines, first planted in 1975 by John Thomson, are deeply anchored in gravelly friable basalt loams over clays and an ancient limestone seabed. Second generation winemaker Belinda Thomson, with her father John Thomson, continues the philosophy of minimal intervention and movement during vinification. The cold-settled juice is batch fermented around 12° - 15° C and left on lees for around six weeks before bottling in September.

Lark Hill sits high a top the Canberra District wine region, some 840m above sea level. This altitude allows their fragrant aromatic whites to truly sing. The Riesling is brilliantly restrained which can be tasted in the overt mineral nature of the wine. Lively citrus blossom with white flowers can also be seen.
