      The Pressing Matters R9 Riesling 2023 is a stunning example of Tasmania’s ability to produce world-class Rieslings, inspired by the elegant styles of the Mosel but showcasing the unique characteristics of the island’s cool climate. This dry Riesling offers an inviting pale green hue, with aromas of preserved lime, dried rose petal, and pear, drawing you in with its subtle complexity. On the palate, it’s clean, crisp, and full of juicy citrus flavours—think lemon, lime, and a touch of lychee—that dance across the tongue, balanced perfectly by bright, refreshing acidity. The long finish leaves a lingering note of fresh fruit, making each sip as enticing as the last.

      Crafted with the utmost care, this wine reflects the pristine conditions of Coal River Valley, where the vines are planted at a high density, ensuring low yields and intense fruit expression. Pressing Matters' Rieslings stand out not only for their unique flavours but also their lower alcohol content compared to most Australian Rieslings, making them both approachable and food-friendly.

      Pressing Matters R9 Riesling 2023

      Very light yellow-green hue with aromas of citrus blossoms, turning to intense lemon/lime juice flavours on the palate, which is generous and persistent. A trace of lychee.

      — Huon Hooke, The Real Review

      Pressing Matters

      Two families brought together from a love of wine supported by a passionate and talented team. Greg Melick and wife Michelle founded Pressing Matters in 2002, inspired by the potential of the neighbouring Morningside Vineyard to produce the noble European varieties of Riesling, Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Cabernet. The first vintage was in 2006.Greg's love of Mosel and Burgundy wines inspires Pressing Matters but Greg’s role as father and grandfather are his proudest achievements.

      Not long after, the opportunity to unite the Morningside vineyard with Pressing Matters saw the Hall family join the Melicks as partners in late 2019. A friendship formed from a love of burgundy and holidays shared in the family home in Meursault now fuels the next stage of the Pressing Matters story. Significant investment in a new winery, tasting room and general infrastructure and new plantings are some of the first steps of the partnership.

      Tasting notes

      NOSE
      Preserved Lime, Dried Rose Petal, Pear

      Preserved lime and dried rose petal, draw you in with a complexity that hints at the freshness to come. Subtle notes of pear and a touch of Cox’s Orange Pippin apple add depth, offering an inviting bouquet that promises a vibrant palate.

      PALATE
      Citrus, Lychee, Juicy Freshness

      Clean, crisp, and bursting with juicy citrus flavours—zesty lemon and lime dominate, while a hint of lychee adds a touch of exotic sweetness. The wine is beautifully balanced, with a lively, mouthwatering acidity that dances across the tongue, making each sip more refreshing than the last.

      FINISH
      Long, Bright, Fresh

      Bright acidity of fresh citrus and a touch of sweet fruit. The clean, clear finish is refreshing, leaving a subtle trace of juicy pear and preserved lime, making this wine a delight to drink from start to finish.
