Description
Here is a cracking selection of Australia's best Rieslings from some of our favourite Riesling producers.
Riesling is one of the world's great grapes, and arguably the white wine Australia does best!
There has never been more innovation and excitement within Aussie Riesling than right now, and this pack brings you six cutting-edge examples of Riesling in different styles and from different regions, that show off what makes this variety so popular.
- 2024 Vignerons Schmolzer & Brown Obstgarten K Riesling
- 2025 Rieslingfreak No. 3 Clare Valley Riesling
- 2024 Swinney Frankland River Riesling
- 2024 Ravensworth Regional Riesling
- 2024 Mitchell Watervale Riesling
- 2025 Two Tonne Tasmania TMV Riesling
2024 Vignerons Schmolzer & Brown Obstgarten K Riesling
Jeremy Schmolzer and Tessa Brown keep showing just how good they are at finding the sweet spot between precision and drinkability, and this Riesling is a great example. The ‘K’ stands for Kabinett - this is their nod to that classic German style, made with fruit from one of the highest vineyards in Whitlands, King Valley.
It’s off-dry but seriously well balanced, thanks to a bolt of acidity that keeps everything feeling crisp and lively. The fruit was wild-fermented and left pretty much to do its thing, which is very much the Schmolzer & Brown way - minimal fuss, just clean, expressive winemaking.
The 2024 vintage brings all the zip and brightness you’d expect, with enough texture and weight to make it feel complete rather than simple. It’s one of those wines that works across the board - good with food, good on its own, and built to drink well now but with plenty of life ahead if you’re happy to wait.

"Scents of apple, lime, citrus and Thai basil. Smooth, elegant palate dressed in bright sweet spice. Perfect with Asian salad or noodle dishes."

"Green and red apples, lime, lemon, sorbet aspect, and cooked apple. Beautiful balance, flavour and length. Delicious from the first sip."
- Campbell Mattinson (The Wine Front)
2025 Rieslingfreak No. 3 Clare Valley Riesling
The Rieslingfreak No. 3 is John Hughes' outstanding value Clare Valley Riesling.
The Clare Valley is John's home and this wine hails from the family vineyard at White Hutt. The 2025 vintage tells a story of resilience. A year marked by the driest conditions on record and searing heat produced smaller yields but fruit of extraordinary quality. This wine captures the generosity and power of Riesling in the Clare Valley while showing a delicacy rarely seen in such a warm, dry year.
The nose is very enticing, offering Pink Lady apples, Meyer lemon, guava, and fresh nectarine. The palate bursts with zesty citrus, think lemon and blood orange, alongside sweet apple, mango, and passionfruit. A tight, crisp acidity carries these flavours to a long, zesty finish.
An absolute bargain and a must-have for lovers of Australian Riesling, delicious now or destined for the cellar.

"Linear and focused, with a long, mineral-edged finish."
- Ryan Montgomery (James Suckling)
2024 Swinney Frankland River Riesling
Frankland River is one of the country's best regions for growing Riesling and few know how to grow it as well as Rhys Thomas.
Each bunch for this wine was hand-picked to ensure only the most pristine fruit made it to the winery. Overripe, over-exposed bunches were left behind, a wine of exceptional purity and length of flavour has emerged.
Nothing fancy in the winemaking from Rob Mann, just whole bunch pressed to tank, fermented clean and dry and allowed rest only lees for a few months before bottling.
It's razor-sharp, has a piercing length, and will live for many years in the cellar.

"It’s hard to go past intensity of fruit flavour in a young riesling, and this Swinney 2024 has plenty of it. Lemon, salt, lime leaf and wet stone characters put on a pretty dramatic – not to mention classy – display, the finish then chalky, textural and dry. There’s a tonic water aspect to this. And plenty of mouth perfume. And something of a meaty savouriness. And yet all the while the fruit feels pristine, and concentrated. It’s a cracking example of Frankland River riesling, at its best. It’s a wine of both joy, and quality."
- Campbell Mattinson (The Wine Front)
2024 Ravensworth Regional Riesling
Those that have ever tasted the exquisite wines from the Clonakilla stable should know that most of them have been touched by the hands of Ravensworth owner/winemaker/butcher/purveyor of smoked meats, Bryan Martin.
The Ravensworth project is a chance for him to captain his own ship. The wines are some of the best value in the country.
This is a scintillating expression of Riesling. Nothing fancy (apart from a small component made in ceramic egg). Just amazing fruit made with a gentle and precise touch. This sits right alongside the best Rieslings in the Canberra region.
The demand for Bryan's wines escalates every year, and with great-value wines like this coming from him so consistently, it's no wonder.
"A cracker of a year sees our favourite regional white filled with beautiful aromatics of citrus, blossom and spice. Nothing appeases a spring thirst like a dewy, chilled glass of riesling on the patio."
- Bryan Martin
2024 Mitchell Watervale Riesling
The Watervale Riesling from Mitchell Wines is filled with a whole lot of bang for your buck.
The wine has been crafted in the exact same traditional way as when it was first released back in 1977 - hand picked fruit, careful treatment and low levels of tinkering in the winery, fermenting with natural yeasts and left to sit on it's lees for an extended period of time.
All things that make Clare Valley Riesling great are present in this wine - refreshing, electric citrus notes, delicate florals, fantastic balance and little hints of minerality. Gorgeous stuff at an insane value price!

"The vibrant jasmine and white peach aromas of this youthful dry riesling leap out of the glass at you. Great concentration and purity on the totally focused, medium-bodied palate. More than enough juicy peach fruit to balance the glistening samurai-sword acidity that powers the very long, wet-stone and lime finish. Already delicious, but also has great aging potential. Drink or hold. Screw cap."
- Stuart Pigott (JamesSuckling.com)
2025 Two Tonne Tasmania TMV Riesling
Riesling from the Tamar Valley here (TMV) from young winemaker, Ricky Evans.
This is a tightly coiled and refined Riesling of streamlined fruit character and finesse. A smidge of residual sugar gives this a lovely balance in the mouth, making it brilliant to drink immediately and a gem for the cellar, depending on when you like to drink your Riesling.
Ricky continues to impress, a rising star of the Tasmanian wine scene and one to keep a close eye on. If you love Riesling from cooler climes, this is absolutely worth a look.

- LCLizzie C.Verified Buyer1 year agoRated 5 out of 5 starsRighteous Reisling Pack
Great selection, some of my favs.
- TVTravis V.Verified Buyer3 years agoRated 4 out of 5 starsFantastic alternative pack
This is a great little pack and excellent value for money. The wines are all not your standard style Rieslings and are all experimental styles (oak, wild ferment. lees etc.) which are not traditionally associated with Rieslings. They've all be done very well by some very good winemakers.
