2024 'Brothers' Riesling

Name Story: 2014 to 2024 Jono and Damon Koerner were in partnership together with Koerner Wine. During this time they created a wine range called ‘Brothers’ and this Riesling was one of the main wines within that range. We want to continue the legacy of that through this wine.

Vintage Season: We are very happy with how the 2024 Riesling has turned out. With the warm er ripening season, we are seeing a fleshier style, it has great texture and mouth feel to it, which adds to the high drinkability. We picked the grapes at the perfect time that we had perfect amount of natural acidity which gives the wine incredible freshness and drive.

Tasting Notes: The nose is lifted and floral, with subtle hints of fennel and pine needle, it is quite unique and very appealing. On the pallet you get typical lemon but then you get this lime cordial character that coats the mouth, and it is entwined with a powerful minerality which drives the wine and offers an appealing chalky texture! This is a real approachable style of Riesling which makes it easy to have a few bottles.
