When you think of iconic Australian wines, Shiraz might come to mind first, but today, we’re diving into something different—Riesling. Crisp, citrusy, and packed with character, Australian Riesling from the Clare and Eden Valleys is making waves globally. 🍇 In this video, we explore the rich history of Riesling in Australia, from its introduction by German settlers in the 19th century to the pioneering dry styles of the 1960s that redefined the varietal.

Discover how Eden Valley’s high-altitude vineyards create elegant Rieslings with floral aromas and steely minerality, exemplified by the Hewitson Gun Metal Riesling. Compare this to Clare Valley’s bold, citrus-driven Rieslings like the Jim Barry Lodge Hill Dry Riesling, known for its vibrant acidity and racy finish. Whether you prefer young and zippy or aged and complex, these Australian Rieslings are perfect for any wine lover’s collection. 🍷
