About this Wine

Majella’s Riesling is gently pressed with very limited skin contact to preserve the fruit aromas and flavours. Fermentation was completed in stainless steel tanks. The Riesling is bottled as a young wine to retain crisp freshness.

The 2024 vintage in Coonawarra is exceptional, marked by a unique set of climatic conditions. An El Niño event led to a warm and dry winter, prompting an early start to the growing season. Despite some late spring frost and unexpected cooler, wetter weather in late spring and early summer, which resulted in low to moderate yields, the strong Bonney Upwelling then brought cooler temperatures in December and early January.

Following the New Year, the weather became warm and dry with cool nights, ideal for ripening. Harvest occurred slightly earlier than usual, in late March and April. The 2024 vintage promises high-quality wines, characterised by firm acidity in whites and intense colours, bold tannins, and deep fruit flavours in reds, indicating excellent aging potential.

Coonawarra Wine

The Coonawarra wine region is most known for its Cabernet Sauvignon that is produced on red “terra rossa” soil. This clay soil is one of the most notable in the “New World” of wine covering an area of only 15kmx2km. The terra rossa soil also overlies soft, penetrable limestone and it is this uncommon combination that makes this region so special.

“Cabernet Sauvignon is the most widely planted variety in the world and Coonawarra is one of the few regions where free draining soils and maritime ripening conditions achieve the ultimate varietal expression.” Coonawarra.org

From Coonawarra Cabernet you can expect a medium bodied red with powerful yet polished tannins, luscious dark berry fruit, herb and mint flavours as well as satisfying length.

While half of region’s production is Cabernet, the limestone soils also suit planting of Chardonnay, Riesling and Sauvignon blanc.
