Plantagenet Wyjup Collection Riesling

Plantagenet Wyjup Collection Riesling 2024 from Plantagenet Wines in Mount Barker, Great Southern, is a finely crafted, small‑production riesling that really shows off the region’s purity and mineral drive. With less than 1,200 bottles made, Plantagenet Wyjup Collection Riesling 2024 opens with lime zest, lemon sherbet, light lemon and orange blossom, plus green apple, faint bath salts and a crunchy basalt, flinty edge. It’s light and bright in colour, sitting right in the zone for tightly wound, cool‑climate riesling.

On the palate, this Wyjup Riesling 2024 is pure and vibrant – lemon and a touch of lime running over crushed shells and stony mineral notes, with citrus zest and subtle dried herbal complexity. The frame is light to medium, energetic and refreshing, with that crunchy, basalt‑like minerality keeping everything focused rather than fruity or sweet. With scores in the early‑90s, it’s already highly regarded as a serious but super drinkable Mount Barker riesling.

Food‑wise, Plantagenet Wyjup Collection Riesling 2024 is spot‑on with oysters, natural or dressed, fresh prawns, kingfish sashimi, Thai salads or spicy Asian seafood, where its citrus and minerality cut through richness. It’ll also play nicely with lightly spiced dishes, goat’s cheese and summer salads, making this Wyjup Riesling 2024 a great pick for warm‑weather drinking and seafood‑heavy spreads. Given its structure and pedigree, it should also age nicely for several years, gaining more texture and complexity while keeping that cool‑climate line.
