Experience the finesse of Hochkirch Riesling Towards Laidlaws 2024 from John and Jennifer Nagorcka’s Demeter-certified biodynamic vineyard in Tarrington, Henty, southwest Victoria. Hand-harvested from a single site and destemmed to open vat for brief skin contact before pressing to tank, this idiosyncratic Riesling racked with fine lees captures waxy texture and preserved citrus purity from gravelly basalt soils. Meyer lemon, mandarin, chamomile and green apple aromas lead to sweet fruit over dry lively acid, finishing with noble phenolic bitterness and peachy depth – relaxed yet seriously complex.

The Hochkirch Riesling Towards Laidlaws 2024 pairs brilliantly with pan-fried trout, soft goat’s cheese or Asian-inspired salads, its tingling freshness balancing delicate flavours. Gourmand and charismatic with superb drinkability, snag this flavour-packed biodynamic Riesling for spring lunches or contemplative afternoons when textured whites steal the show.
