Introducing our new vintage release – the 2024 Scotchmans Hill Late Harvest Riesling –
perfect for your holiday table or as an elegant gift.
With bright floral and citrus aromas, ripe nectarines, and balanced sweetness, Mark from our Cellar Door highlights that this Late Harvest Riesling stands apart: "It’s not a botrytis style but picked around three weeks after our general Riesling, giving it a lovely bright freshness." Mark suggests pairing it with a lemon or quince tart to enhance the citrus notes, making it a festive season favourite.

Our much-loved Scotchmans Hill Riesling is back with its 2024 vintage.

Brilliant, pale straw in colour with glistening green highlights, it has a bouquet of fresh citrus—lemon, lime, and a hint of mandarin complemented by green apple, ripe pear, and a trace of white flowers.

This Riesling is crisp and invigorating on the palate, showcasing a perfect balance of bright acidity and ripe fruit flavours. A touch of honeyed sweetness and refined minerality add complexity.

Awarded 95 Halliday Points, this Chardonnay is described by Cellar Door Manager Sonya as a "masterful balance of fruit-driven characteristics, fabulous palate density and richness, all lifted by lively acidity."
