Our team are thrilled to share with you that our Hill River W**es 2026 Riesling has landed.

Vintage 2026 was far from an easy growing season in the Clare Valley, but our long-standing D4 Riesling block is known for its resilience. After a dry Summer, the rain helped the fruit reach full ripeness - teamed with a well-timed harvest!

Our consultant winemaker, Andrew Kenny said “This Riesling captures the purity and tension of the 2026 vintage, grown on Slate. A welcome rain to a dry season, helping the fruit get to full ripeness in what would have otherwise been a tough season. Bright and finely structured, it shows lifted aromas of feijoa, finger lime and crisp green apple, underpinned by intense citrus drive and subtle ripe stone fruit. A fine talc-like texture carries the palate through to a long, clean and refreshing finish.”

Shop online, or head into Cellar Door – daily 10-4pm.
