For a year that is marked by hot and dry conditions, the intensity of flavour and electric acidity in the 2025 Rieslings is both remarkable and incredibly exciting. While the quantity of wine produced from the vintage may be meagre, the quality certainly cannot be questioned. In direct contrast to the norm, Rieslings from the Clare Valley are remarkably elegant and delicate in structure, with perfumed aromatics and tight, acid driven palates. Conversely, the Eden Valley Rieslings are rich and robust in flavour and texture, with punchy aromatics and bold fruit flavour to balance the generous weight and density inherent to the 2025 vintage in this region. Sure to delight Rieslingfreaks right out of the gates, the 2025 vintage is one of undeniable precocity and unique appeal.

No.44 is collaboration from our growers in the Eden Valley, combining distinct subregional characters to create a fruit-driven style of Riesling with generosity on the palate. Fruit for No.44 is sourced from small, family-owned and run vineyards across the southern ranges of Eden Valley, in and around High Eden. The vineyards are situated approximately 550m above sea level, and soils vary from shallow grey sandy loam over shale rock, to loam soil over light medium clay, with high quartz rock and gravel content.
