Castle Rock is way down in the bottom-left corner of Australia in the Porongurup Ranges of the Great Southern. It’s a cool environment, perfect for cool cleansing Rieslings with heaps of flavour.
They may make Australia’s best value white wine, let alone Riesling. As fresh as freshly-picked flowers from the garden, it’s a wine with crunchy acidity but beautifully balanced and smooth, even in its youth.
For delicacy and grace in white wine, this can’t be beaten for the price.

“The product of a cool, late vintage just what the doctor ordered. It’s already filling the bouquet with heady flourishes of limes that move into top gear on a long, layered magic carpet of citrus, all sorts.”
– James Halliday (Halliday Wine Companion)

“A flagship wine for the brand which they have been making since 1986. So its no surprise they have absolutely NAILED it once again… Drink now and bask in the splendour of superb Porongurup, because its SO hot right now.”

“Oh my. One sniff confirmed by the taste shows why this is regarded as one of the great vintages for riesling and why Rob Diletti is regarded as one of our great winemakers… That crunchy wet pebbly mouth feel is simply a joy.”
– Ray Jordan
