The 2025 Pressing Matters R139 Riesling is a luxurious sweet Riesling from Tasmania’s Coal River Valley, inspired by the great dessert wines of Germany’s Mosel region. Presented in a 375ml bottle, it opens with a youthful pale-gold colour and expressive aromas of nashi pear, white flowers, pineapple and ripe mango, framed by a distinctive flinty mineral edge.
The palate is rich and viscous, yet beautifully poised, with luscious tropical fruit and 139 grams per litre of residual sugar balanced by vibrant natural acidity. A fine phenolic grip adds definition and drive, carrying the wine towards a clean, focused and persistent finish that feels indulgent without becoming heavy.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an outstanding choice for those who enjoy concentrated dessert wines with freshness, purity and impeccable balance. Serve well chilled and enjoy now, or cellar for 10–15 years to develop greater honeyed and savoury complexity. Ideal with foie gras, Roquefort or other blue cheeses, pineapple tarte Tatin, apple strudel, passionfruit soufflé or tropical fruit desserts.
