Product Description:
The 2024 Jasper Hill Georgia’s Paddock Riesling is a finely etched and expressive cool-climate Riesling that reflects both site purity and restraint. Sourced from the Georgia’s Paddock vineyard in Heathcote, this wine highlights a lesser-seen but compelling side of the region, shaped by elevation, ancient soils and careful vineyard management. In the glass, it is pale straw with green flecks, signaling freshness and precision. The aromatic profile is delicate yet persistent, opening with citrus blossom, lime zest and green apple. Subtle mineral and wet stone notes sit beneath the fruit, adding depth and quiet complexity. On the palate, the wine is taut and linear, driven by bright natural acidity and focused citrus flavours. Texture is fine and controlled, with no excess weight, allowing clarity and purity to shine. The 2024 vintage emphasises tension and balance rather than power, offering a clean, precise expression of Riesling. This is a wine well suited to early drinking for its vibrancy, yet structured enough to reward short to medium term cellaring.
