Di Giorgio’s Head in the Clouds Riesling 2025 from Mount Gambier’s Kongorong region is an aromatic dry expression sourced from the cool-climate area south of Mount Gambier, where imagination flies free inspired by the family’s Abruzzo heritage. Pale straw in colour, the lifted nose bursts with lime zest and red apple blossom alongside white nectarines, nashi pear and star jasmine that create an inviting aromatic bouquet. The refreshing palate delivers upfront fruit characters of grapefruit and red apple balanced beautifully with crisp acidity, finishing with bright citrus notes that provide excellent length.

This Mount Gambier Riesling pairs perfectly with fresh oysters where its crisp acidity cuts through briny richness, while grilled fish and seafood allow the wine’s citrus character to shine. Spicy Asian cuisine, light salads and soft goat cheese also make ideal matches, with the wine’s refreshing structure providing delightful versatility.

Picked in the cool of the night with controlled fermentation, this wine is excellent now but will also reward those with patience in the future. At 12% alcohol, this represents outstanding quality from the Head in the Clouds range, showcasing the creative expression of alternative varieties from the Limestone Coast.
