Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

Bright pale straw with green hues. Lifted aromas of lime, subtle yellow stone fruit, and orange blossom. The palate is richly textured, with citrus juice flavors and carried by natural acidity.

    Gatekeepers of the oldest vineyards in the vast Great Southern region at the bottom of Western Australia, Forest Hill has been going from strength to strength under the helm of the latest generation of talented winemakers and growers. This pale gold Riesling opens with a pretty bouquet of honey, orchard fruit, lavender and lemon verbena. The palate is bone-dry, with a chalky texture. Citrus and floral flavors abound, impaled by laser sharp acidity. Drink through 2030. Editors' Choice.

Forest Hill Vineyard, Australia
Forest Hill Vineyard has a unique place in the history of Western Australia’s wine industry, being the first cool climate vineyard planted in the state. Following extensive research throughout the South-West, a site was chosen on the property owned by Tony and Betty Pearce and in 1965 a two hectare vineyard was planted. 50 years on Forest Hill is family owned and run. The wines are crafted in our winery in Denmark with the grapes sourced from the old, dry grown, Forest Hill Vineyard in Mount Barker. Our wines reflect the site, the season and the people that nurture them.

Riesling possesses a remarkable ability to reflect the character of wherever it is grown while still maintaining its identity. A regal variety of incredible purity and precision, this versatile grape can be just as enjoyable dry or sweet, young or old, still or sparkling and can age longer than nearly any other white variety. Somm Secret—Given how difficult it is to discern the level of sweetness in a Riesling from the label, here are some clues to find the dry ones. First, look for the world “trocken.” (“Halbtrocken” or “feinherb” mean off-dry.) Also a higher abv usually indicates a drier Riesling.

Western Australia

Occupying the tip of Western Australia’s spectacular southern coastline is a wine region of impressive natural diversity called the Great Southern. Here cool climate loving varieties like Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc grow in vineyards hugging its jagged coastlines.

Farther inland, among Great Southern's rolling hills and flatlands, a more pronounced temperature shift between day and night is perfect for the the production of exciting Riesling wines as well as impressive Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz.
