Jack Rabbit Riesling 2025 from the Bellarine Peninsula is a vibrant cool‑climate Riesling with a zesty coastal feel, showing bright fruit purity and that mouth‑watering line locals love in Geelong whites. It’s crafted to be expressive yet finely tuned, showing real promise both young and with some careful cellaring.

In the glass, expect lifted aromas of nectarine, lime, lemon and juicy citrus with pretty floral highlights and a clean mineral edge. The palate is dry, textural and engaging, with lemon, lime and grapefruit sparking across the tongue, a slight pithy astringency and delicate white tannins giving shape and grip through the finish. Jack Rabbit Riesling 2025 should drink beautifully on release while having the structure to evolve gracefully in bottle.

For food, this Jack Rabbit Riesling 2025 is a natural with local Bellarine seafood – think salt‑and‑pepper squid, fish and chips, grilled prawns or Thai‑style crab cakes. It also sings with Vietnamese salads, spicy pork larb, fresh oysters with lime, or just a plate of crumbed whiting on a summer afternoon by the bay. Serve chilled, but not icy, to let the texture and aromatics shine.
