Description

Here is a cracking selection of Australia's best Rieslings from some of our favourite Riesling producers.

Riesling is one of the world's great grapes, and arguably the white wine Australia does best!

There has never been more innovation and excitement within Aussie Riesling than right now, and this pack brings you six cutting-edge examples of Riesling in different styles and from different regions, that show off what makes this variety so popular.

  • 2023 Rieslingfreak No. 11 Mosaik Eden Valley Riesling
  • 2024 Dr. Edge Tasmania Riesling
  • 2024 Hughes & Hughes Riesling
  • 2024 Vignerons Schmolzer & Brown Obstgarten T Riesling
  • 2024 Vanguardist Wines Le Marx Riesling
  • 2024 Ravensworth Regional Riesling

2023 Rieslingfreak No. 11 Mosaik Eden Valley Riesling

John Hughes, the mastermind behind Rieslingfreak, has a knack for pushing Riesling into exciting new territory. His No. 11 “Mosaik” Eden Valley Riesling is no exception, blending classic Eden Valley purity with a touch of creative flair.

For this release, Hughes aged pristine Eden Valley fruit in seasoned French oak barrels for a year, adding depth and texture without overshadowing the wine’s natural freshness. The result is a Riesling with beautiful layers of citrus zest, fresh pineapple, and a hint of salted nuts, all wrapped in a silky, creamy texture. The time in oak also brings subtle spice and structure, balancing the zippy acidity that Riesling lovers crave.

Whether you’re a diehard Riesling fan or just starting your exploration, the No. 11 is a brilliant wine. Pair it with fragrant Thai dishes, a creamy cheese board, or enjoy it on its own as a conversation starter.

This is an outrageously delicious and complex offering from John & Bellinda Hughes. It's exclusively available at Different Drop. Riesling lovers, you can't miss this.

2024 Dr. Edge Tasmania Riesling

The formidable powers of Riesling from all corners of Tasmania are put to good and fascinating use here. And, of course, it just wouldn't be a Dr. Edge wine without a little funk... And funk, it has...

It's an equal blend of Pete Dredge's North, South and East Rieslings, bottled unfiltered with some residual sugar.

A whopping nine months on lees and a little lazy time in some old barrels has put some weight on the skeletal Tassie Riesling frame. Yes, there are all the classic steel and citrus notes, but there's an extra layer of savouriness in this wine takes it to a transcendently weird level.

As always with the wines of the good Doctor, there aren't many bottles around. Grab one while you can.

2024 Hughes & Hughes Riesling


The 2024 Hughes & Hughes Riesling is a brilliant showcase of Tasmania’s cool-climate Riesling, balancing vibrant fruit, textural complexity, and refreshing precision.

Crafted by Jonny Hughes, who honed his skills over seven years at Moorilla, this Riesling sources fruit from the Derwent Valley, North West Tasmania, and the D'Entrecasteaux Channel.

The winemaking process includes whole-bunch pressing and a small portion fermented on skins to enhance texture. Fermentation is carried out with natural yeasts in both stainless steel and seasoned barrels, halting when the ideal balance between residual sugar (7g/L) and acidity is achieved. The wine is then matured on lees and bottled unfined and filtered, further enhancing its texture!

On the palate, expect a harmonious interplay of bright citrus and stone fruit flavours, complemented by a subtle sweetness and a crisp, refreshing finish. The slight residual sugar adds body, while the natural acidity provides a laser-like purity.

This Riesling is an excellent match for seafood dishes and is perfect for enjoying on a sunny afternoon.

2024 Vignerons Schmolzer & Brown Obstgarten T Riesling

While the Schmölzer & Brown duo await their own estate-grown Riesling to come online, they are plundering other cool-climate Victorian regions for premium fruit to play with.

Here they take fruit from the second highest Riesling vineyard in Whitlands region, and turn it into their version of a German Trocken style Riesling - hence the Obstgarten 'T'.

The acidity is absolutely blistering allowing the wine to find an easy balance with a touch of residual sugar though still maintaining a dry style overall.

This is a beautiful, elegant style of Riesling from one of Victoria's rising star producers. Drink now or cellar long.

2024 Vanguardist Wines Le Marx Riesling

This takes Clare Valley Riesling in a different direction than most. Winemaker Michael Corbett sourced this fruit from his friend Ben Marx from Ben's vineyard in Clare Valley.

Named with a nod to the vineyard's owner, Ben Marx (of Gertie fame - if that rings a bell), this wine celebrates the long-standing friendship between Marx and winemaker Michael Corbett. Their shared passion for oenology shines through in this single-site Riesling, which showcases the unique terroir and flora that thrive in the picturesque, terraced vineyard at 550 metres above sea level.

The 2024 vintage brought both challenges and rewards, leading to a Riesling that bursts with freshness, intensity and textural intriuge. Hand-picked in the cool morning hours, the grapes were foot-crushed and cold-soaked before fermenting naturally in a 900L egg-shaped vessel. This careful process, along with aging on lees and full malolactic fermentation, has imbued the wine with a unique shape and texture, this is not your average Clare Valley Riesling but it's a very good one.

It has a beautifully balanced profile of brown lime, grapefruit pith, and a steely, mineral acidity that is both refreshing and structured. The wine’s roundness and mouthfeel are enhanced by extended lees contact and 100% malo-lactic fermentation.

Its smashability factor is high, as well as the quality. It's a powerful, savoury, textural Riesling that is super drinking now or in a few years time.

94 points
"Quite some brine and seaweed here, and not specifically any fruity, maybe mixed citrus and green apple is closest, also some chamomile and mint. It’s saline and savoury, kind of nutty, has a gentle sort of manzanilla tang, quite some powdery chalky texture, and finishes long and, well, kind of electric, like ozone or a quick lick of a 9V battery (don’t mind me). It’s an excellent wine. Distinctive and different."
- Gary Walsh (The Wine Front)

2024 Ravensworth Regional Riesling

Those that have ever tasted the exquisite wines from the Clonakilla stable should know that most of them have been touched by the hands of Ravensworth owner/winemaker/butcher/purveyor of smoked meats, Bryan Martin.

The Ravensworth project is a chance for him to captain his own ship. The wines are some of the best value in the country.

This is a scintillating expression of Riesling. Nothing fancy (apart from a small component made in ceramic egg). Just amazing fruit made with a gentle and precise touch. This sits right alongside the best Rieslings in the Canberra region.

The demand for Bryan's wines escalates every year, and with great-value wines like this coming from him so consistently, it's no wonder.

"A cracker of a year sees our favourite regional white filled with beautiful aromatics of citrus, blossom and spice. Nothing appeases a spring thirst like a dewy, chilled glass of riesling on the patio."
- Bryan Martin

    Fantastic alternative pack

    This is a great little pack and excellent value for money. The wines are all not your standard style Rieslings and are all experimental styles (oak, wild ferment. lees etc.) which are not traditionally associated with Rieslings. They've all be done very well by some very good winemakers.

Ordering

We want Different Drop customers to always be getting the best price. If you see a lower price elsewhere, just get in touch and we will sort it out for you. We handle all our price-matching on a case by case basis.

Some things to keep in mind: 

  • Retrospective price-matching is available for 30 days after you have purchased from us.
  • The price match cannot be used in conjunction with a coupon or one-off deal we are offering. The idea is for you to get the best price in the market so if that is already achieved through a coupon then we won't price match on top of that.
  • We don't price match clearance or fire sales.
  • We’ll match the listed price as long as it is a legitimate offer and the competing store is actually able to fulfil the order (they have stock or more stock is en route). Essentially we won't price match cheeky vendors listing wines they have no hope of actually getting for you...
  • It must be a publicly listed price. We won't match a price that has been achieved through a coupon/cash-back arrangement, or through a non-advertised offer over the phone or otherwise.  
  • It is limited to a reasonable retail quantity.

We'll treat each price match request on its merit and reserve the right to refuse where we deem fit. For example, particularly rare wines, from non-trust-worthy vendors, in circumstances we deem illegitimate or if we feel our policy is being unfairly taken advantage of.

At the end of the day, we'll look after you and use common sense to ensure you're getting the best price, please just don't take the p%$$!

No, feel free to mix it up! There is no minimum requirement. You can order wines in any quantity or combination, 1 or 50+ bottles.

We stock three different sized gift boxes (single, three bottle and six), all are available for purchase for a flat rate of $8. They look great and make an awesome impression.

To add a gift box to your order, simply add at checkout. The special requests box is your friend, please give us as many details of what you are looking for and we will try our best, or get in contact to discuss it with you. 

If you want to bulk order gifts or if you have any trouble please email hello@differentdrop.com or call and we can try and help.

 

If you can't add more wine to your cart it means we are low on stock of that wine. For example, if you are only able to 3 bottles and no more that means we only have 3 bottles left of that wine. If it's a must have, please contact us and we may be able to order more in for you.
