The Riesling is drawn from both the Eden Valley and Adelaide Hills regions. All fruit was hand-picked then whole-bunch pressed with only the free run taken. A cool was followed by just over a month on lees to help increase the mouthfeel.

“While it was never in doubt that winemaking talent runs in the Melton family – Sophie is Charlie and Virginia’s daughter – white wine in the Melton portfolio might have been. Not sure Charlie saw that coming, but seeing the results, he must be delighted (and more than a little proud). This is very pale lemon/lime hue. Beautifully aromatic, this offers aromas of spices, lemon sherbet, florals, citrus, grapefruit and has a finely crafted chalky backing. The limes linger and emerge on the palate. Vibrant acidity, a long and lingering finish and knife-edge balance. Eight to 10 years at the very least. Drink now–2034” 94 points, The Vintage Journal 2026

“Those who spent endless hours in the vineyards were rewarded with synergistic, highly expressive, and healthy fruit. The result is that classic mix of citrus and Granny Smith apple on a deliriously long palate.” 96 points, James Halliday Awards Top Rated, Halliday Wine Companion
