2024 Duke's K2 Riesling

Top 6 - Great Southern's Top Riesling, Young Gun of Wine
"Guéritot included this wine in his top six wines of the day, describing “a different style to most of my selections, with a leaner cast to its fruit profile – a wine where the hand of the winemaker, rather than fruit ripeness, provides balance against the bracing freshness of its acidity. The wine leads with notes of fresh lychee, lime zest and a touch of ginger spice. There’s a softness to the mouthfeel and a spiced weight to the structure. Those techniques take the edge off the wine’s acidity and minerality – and suggest that Great Southern’s biggest point of difference from other Australian riesling regions is, or at least should be, the willingness of its producers to venture away from the clean, all-stainless winemaking norm.”

95 Points, Aaron Brasher, The Real Review
Ranked #5 of 38 2024 Riesling from Great Southern
Mid-straw, youthful and vibrant in the glass. Lifted and complex aromas of feijoa, melon, brown lime juice, citrus and wheat puff. The palate is fine, poised and quite delicate with a drive of pithy citrus, guava, mineral and perky acidity. Long, pointed and with a nice lick of phenolic grip
