Shepherd's Hut Riesling

Shepherd’s Hut Riesling 2026 is a thrillingly crisp release from Shepherd’s Hut in Western Australia’s granite-studded Porongurup, showing why this cool Great Southern pocket is made for electric, age-worthy Riesling. It is bright, dry and seriously refreshing, with purity and pace from first pour to final sip.

Green apple, freshly squeezed lime and juicy pear lead the nose, followed by sea-spray freshness and a savoury lift of sage. The palate is long, vibrant and beautifully balanced, driven by mouth-watering natural acidity and clean mineral tension. Shepherds Hut Riesling 2026 finishes fine, zesty and moreish.

Match this Porongurup Riesling with freshly shucked oysters, kingfish sashimi, Thai green curry or chilli-salted squid. Its lime-bright acidity slices through fried seafood and spicy dishes, while the saline edge makes it a brilliant aperitif with salty snacks, goat’s cheese or a sunny afternoon platter.
