About the Wine
Despite having almost as much wine history as the Hunter, Mudgee too often flies under the radar. But with Australian Riesling roots going back to 1838, the Stein family has proven talent with crafting some sensational expressions of this great grape.
This special ‘White’ label bottling is like an unexpected gift amongst tricky times. With 2019’s drought and bushfires, and fewer 2020 cellar door visits, it takes top fruit normally destined for the Stein’s best bottlings.
Dry, textured and taut with lime zest and orange, don’t miss this historic gem.
About Robert Stein
The Stein family has a long history with Riesling, dating back to 1838 and among the first to successfully plant the variety in Australia. Nowadays it is the family flagship variety, with three Riesling styles being made most years.
The Dry, Half Dry and Reserve Rieslings are made from fruit off our vineyard which was planted in 1976, along with fruit sourced from numerous vineyards in Mudgee, including the Historic Miramar vineyard.
This family tradition of winemaking has since been continued by Robert and Lorna’s grandson, Jacob Stein, returning to the family business in 2009 as chief winemaker.
Jacob explains, “Mudgee has excellent attributes for growing grapes. The region has a continental climate with warm days and cool nights, combined with excellent soil profiles are some of the attributes that help Mudgee produce great wines with a distinct regional character”
