West Cape Howe Regional Range Riesling 2025 from Mount Barker in WA’s Great Southern is a bright, finely etched Riesling with pure citrus, floral lift and that classic cool‑climate line of acidity that makes the style so refreshing and moreish. This West Cape Howe Regional Range Riesling leans into precision and drinkability rather than being too austere.

Expect a very bright, clear wine with a light green tinge in the glass, and a fragrant nose of orange blossom, sweet lemon rind and spicy lime, with hints of lemon sherbet and delicate florals. The palate is fine and dry, showing sweet‑lime and lemon‑sherbet flavours over a zingy acid spine, giving good length and a clean, crisp, mouth‑watering finish that will also reward a few years in the cellar.

Food‑wise, West Cape Howe Regional Riesling 2025 is spot‑on with Coffin Bay oysters, crab, prawns and white‑fleshed fish, where the citrus and acidity slice neatly through brine and richness. It will also work brilliantly with Thai or Vietnamese dishes built around lime and herbs, or simple grilled whiting with a squeeze of lemon – a versatile Aussie Riesling for warm days and seafood‑heavy tables.
