Pepper Tree Wines Single Vineyard Stone Mountain Riesling 2024 from the volcanic slopes of Mt Canobolas in Orange is a thrilling, high‑altitude Riesling that crackles with energy, perfume and mineral drive. This Stone Mountain Riesling 2024 is dry, intensely aromatic and already attracting serious critical attention.

Perfumed orange blossom, elderflower and ginger spice lead the nose, with lime cordial, Granny Smith apple skin, kiwi and pea tendrils, plus a briny oyster‑shell, coconut‑water and ripe custard‑apple character adding layers of complexity. The palate is bone‑dry, powerful yet beautifully poised, framed by citrus zest, chalky, quartz‑like phenolics and gliding, immovable acidity that drives an exceptionally long, moreish finish.

Stone Mountain Riesling 2024 is superb with oysters, prawns, sashimi, Thai and Vietnamese dishes, pork belly or fresh goats’ cheese, and will cellar effortlessly, evolving more texture and savoury detail over the next decade.
