A foreign variety to the Hunter Valley, this wine encompasses the zesty lemon and lime characteristics that Hunter Valley whites are renowned for but also demonstrates the complexities and elegance akin to the variety’s European genesis. The 2018 Hunter Valley Vintage was another excellent year for producers. Riesling is an uncommon variety to the region, however the site in which this fruit is sourced has consistently produced delicate, and even award-winning Riesling. It exhibits a pale straw colour, lemon blossom on the nose, with mineral lime at the front and an acidic finish. The wine will age well: for those who enjoy an aged Riesling try and lay these down… if you can.

Giovanni Chiarella gave our family the opportunity to flourish in Australia. He taught us to respect and embrace our new home, its people and culture with the benefit of our Italian heritage. For everything that we have achieved and continue to achieve, we thank him.
