Experience the finesse of Hochkirch ‘Near Pipers’ Riesling 2024 from John and Jennifer Nagorcka’s Demeter-certified biodynamic vineyard in Tarrington, Henty, southwest Victoria. Hand-harvested from the Near Pipers site and destemmed to open vat for four days skin contact before pressing to tank and racking to old puncheons with fine lees, this pure Riesling delivers pale yellow hue, sweet lemon citrus aromas with wet stone minerality. Sweet Riesling fruit layers over dry lively acid backbone, finishing with noble phenolic bitterness and clean persistence – textured yet refreshingly precise.

The Hochkirch ‘Near Pipers’ Riesling 2024 pairs brilliantly with pan-fried snapper, kingfish sashimi or goat’s curd crostini, its vibrant energy balancing delicate seafood beautifully. Idiosyncratic and engaging with superb length, snag this biodynamic Riesling for beachside lunches or crisp evenings when textured, site-driven whites captivate.
