The 2025 Fervor Dokta Nova Riesling is a striking cool-climate Riesling from Western Australia’s Great Southern region, one of Australia’s premier sources of world-class Riesling. Crafted by Fervor Wines from carefully selected vineyard sites, the wine showcases the region’s hallmark combination of vibrant acidity, purity of fruit and mineral precision. The 2025 vintage continues the label’s reputation for producing expressive, terroir-driven wines with energy and finesse.
The nose reveals lime blossom, lemon zest and green apple alongside notes of jasmine, talc and wet stone. The palate is crisp and beautifully focused, combining bright citrus fruit with racy natural acidity and a pronounced mineral backbone. Layers of kaffir lime, Granny Smith apple and slate-like minerality unfold through a long, dry and refreshing finish. The wine’s precision and tension make it both immediately appealing and highly age-worthy.
Ben’s Recommendation:
A beautifully pure Great Southern Riesling that captures the freshness and elegance of this exceptional region. Vibrant, mineral and incredibly food-friendly, it pairs beautifully with oysters, prawns, sashimi, spicy Asian cuisine and fresh goat’s cheese. Enjoy now for its youthful energy, or cellar through 2035 and beyond as it develops greater complexity, texture and classic Riesling character.
