De Bortoli Willowglen Gewurztraminer Riesling 2023
Willowglen Gewurztraminer Riesling is a harmonious blend of Traminer and Riesling from the Riverina region of Australia. The wine displays intense tropical notes, with the sweet, white, soft pulp of lychee complemented by delicate hints of rose water. On the palate, the richness of the Gewurztraminer is balanced by the crisp, citrusy line of Riesling, creating a generous and well-structured wine. Why You'll Love It This is the perfect introduction to aromatic white wines, combining the exotic perfume of Gewurztraminer with the refreshing citrus backbone of Riesling. The blend creates a wine that's both aromatic and balanced, with enough richness to stand up to spicy food while maintaining the freshness that makes it incredibly drinkable. It's an exceptional value wine that delivers complexity and character well above its price point. Meet the Producer Willowglen Wines is dedicated to sustainable winemaking practices, focusing on producing expressive, approachable wines that reflect the unique character of their Riverina vineyards. Production Grapes are carefully managed in the vineyard to ensure clean ripening. Following harvest, a specialised yeast strain isolated by the Institut Oenologique de Champagne is used to preserve and highlight the varietal aromas. Fermentation is completed over 10-14 days in stainless steel tanks to retain freshness and purity of fruit. Tasting Notes The wine opens with aromatic tropical fruit, lychee, and rose water, with a palate that balances richness and citrusy brightness from Riesling. It is semi-dry, with vibrant acidity providing lift and balance. Food Match Ideal with Asian and spicy dishes such as chicken curry or pad Thai, and soft cheeses including Brie, Camembert, or Feta.

Why You'll Love It The Listening Station range is known for consistent quality and approachable styles that deliver exceptional value. Boutinot Australia has built a reputation for wines that reflect the country's diverse terroirs with honesty and character, and this Chardonnay is a fine example. Unoaked and harvested at night to retain freshness, it is a wine that lets the fruit and the terroir do the talking, with no malolactic fermentation or oak ageing to obscure the natural clarity of the variety. Vineyard and Production The Victorian vineyards grow on sandy loam soils derived from granite and gneissic bedrock, with moderate fertility and yields that ensure grapes with concentrated flavour. This Chardonnay clone naturally expresses a distinctive tangerine peel note. Grapes are harvested at night to retain freshness, with no malolactic fermentation or oak ageing, resulting in a clean, crisp style with high natural acidity. A judicious addition of Langhorne Creek Chardonnay contributes texture and weight, creating a rounded yet vibrant final wine. Tasting Notes Zesty citrus and ripe white peach are lifted by bright acidity and a clean, linear mineral finish. Unoaked and fresh, this Chardonnay is elegant, pure, and wonderfully drinkable. Perfect Pairings Pairs beautifully with tempura vegetables, aromatic chicken salads, or crispy Chinese-style pork. Also excellent with grilled fish, soft cheeses, and light pasta dishes.
