Mt Difficulty Roaring Meg Riesling is a poised white wine that captures Riesling character, with citrus and orchard fruit, lifted aromatics and a clean, mineral-tinged finish.

Aromatic definition is protected through careful, cool fermentation and low oxygen handling, maintaining bright fruit and a clean, focused finish.

Sustainability is approached through responsible vineyard work and thoughtful sourcing, aiming for healthier soils and balanced fruit so the wine can be made with minimal corrective intervention.

The winery behind this wine is driven by craftsmanship and detail, focusing on translating vineyard character into a style that feels authentic, polished and consistent. Behind the label is a hands-on philosophy, where decisions are shaped by the people leading the estate and their long-term vision for the vineyards.

Tasting notes
▾

Pale lemon with brilliant green reflections. Expressive nose of clean citrus, wet stone, and elderflower with lovely floral aromas adding complexity. Hints of ripe dandelion and stonefruit provide depth. Medium-dry palate with excellent concentration of cool-climate character. Succulent ripe citrus flavours meld with honeyed orchard fruit and yeasty apple nuances. A good backbone of natural acidity supports the residual sweetness, creating beautiful balance. Lovely lemony finish with persistent freshness and delicate white spice character.
