The 2026 Tar & Roses Lewis Riesling is a vibrant Victorian Riesling crafted from the renowned Lewis Block at Mitchelton, complemented by fruit from mature Pewsey Vale clone vines in Central Victoria. This carefully selected blend delivers exceptional purity and aromatic lift, with expressive aromas of lemon sherbet, orange blossom, lime zest and delicate musk, alongside hints of oyster shell and subtle citrus spice.
On the palate, it is light-bodied with bright natural acidity and impressive precision. Flavours of lemon pith, fresh lime and citrus are supported by a fine mineral edge and gentle phenolic texture, leading to a long, dry finish with excellent freshness and balance. Cool fermentation in stainless steel preserves the wine's vibrant fruit character and classic Riesling expression.
Ben's Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent Victorian Riesling for those who enjoy crisp, citrus-driven white wines with lively acidity and mineral finesse. Best enjoyed now for its youthful freshness or cellar through 2038 to develop additional complexity. Pair with freshly shucked oysters, ceviche, grilled prawns, sashimi or fresh goat's cheese.
