"Retailing at circa $20 a bottle, the Vickery Eden Valley Riesling is certainly “priced” as an entry-level wine, but the wines behaved anything but—showing grace and finesse at every juncture... never judge a book by its cover—there is still value left in the world."
- Erin Larkin
John Vickery has been shaping the story of Australian Riesling for over half a century, and alongside winemaker Keeda Zilm, the Vickery Eden Valley Riesling continues to set the benchmark. With its high-country elegance and quiet confidence, this wine captures the soul of the region in crystalline detail.
The fruit comes from two stellar family-run vineyards - Schubert’s 1961 plantings at Barty’s Block and Mason’s Woodcarvers Vineyard - both of which have a long-standing relationship with the Vickery team. The 2024 growing season was dry and early, pushing ripeness forward while keeping baumés low and acids in brilliant balance.
As always, pressings were included early in the blend to add dimension, without any bitterness, and fermentation was kept cool and clean in stainless steel to preserve purity.
Expect a wash of white florals, green apple, and juicy citrus. There’s a minerally line running through it all and it finishes dry and precise. Cellar it for a decade or more, or drink now for a taste of Eden at its peak.

"Although the great John Vickery has left us, his legacy lives on in the wines that bear his name. This is a cracker... It's all about that minerally cadence and precision. Super drinking."

"Intensity of flavour here is excellent. Lime, bath salts and talc with a distinct minerally edge, the finish then carrying that extra spark of rock-on-rock.This is juicy. This is long-flavoured. This will develop slowly and well."
