Stonehaven Stepping Stone Riesling 2025 from the Limestone Coast is a lively, fruit‑driven Riesling that balances juicy stone‑fruit sweetness with zesty citrus crunch in a very drinkable style. It is made to be refreshing first and foremost, rather than a super‑austere, bone‑dry example.

Aromatically it shows pale straw in the glass with lemon, lime and oyster‑shell notes, white flower and a hint of flint. On the palate it is fragrantly intense and fruity, bursting with nectarine, apricot, honey‑crisp and green apple, nashi pear and lemon aspen, with a sweet core of citrus and apple, juicy mouthfeel, fine acidity and a crunchy, refreshing finish.

This Stepping Stone Riesling is excellent with tofu, chilli and lemongrass stir‑fry, Thai or Vietnamese salads, fresh seafood or lightly spiced Asian dishes, where its citrus and gentle nectar‑like sweetness can really shine. It will drink beautifully now and over the next few years, especially well‑chilled on warm Adelaide evenings.
