The 2025 Future Perfect Riesling is a vibrant Tasmanian Riesling sourced from the Marengo Vineyard in the Coal Valley, just north of Richmond. The fruit received five hours of gentle skin contact before natural fermentation in seasoned oak and four months on gross lees, with only partial malolactic fermentation to retain freshness and drive. The nose is bright and expressive with aromas of lemon, lime and green apple, complemented by white blossom and delicate floral notes.
On the palate, it is light to medium-bodied with crisp natural acidity and a finely textured mouthfeel. Flavours of citrus, green apple and exotic fruit are supported by subtle lees complexity and a refreshing mineral edge, finishing long, dry and beautifully focused. Its combination of vibrant fruit, tension and precision makes it an outstanding cool-climate Riesling.
Ben's Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for those seeking a fresh, mineral-driven Riesling with purity and elegance. Pair it with fresh oysters, grilled prawns, sashimi, Thai cuisine or soft goat's cheese. Enjoy it now for its youthful vibrancy, or cellar for 8–10 years to develop greater complexity while retaining its lively citrus character.
