We look here at 6 wines (one from Mosel, that will become apparent in the video, and the reason for it is relevant) that have topped a recent and comprehensive riesling assessment of the greatest examples in Australia. When they are good, they are great - as these are!

Any review you see on my socials ( / erinllarkin , this channel and my website (www.erinlarkin...) are never paid for by wineries or anyone else: the wines are featured on their merits - because they have risen to the top in tastings. If you try the wines I recommend and you like them - good! Because so do I.
Love Riesling Freak. I actually love the number 8 for a summer picnic. So luscious.
Rieslingfreak is a sensation
I’m a big fan of Australian bush…also Riesling in general…
AHHH I started with Leo burring's bin33 reisling.
More wines for me to chase down and taste! Thanks for watching
Erin are there any AUS rieslings out there in a dry, medium / full bodied Alsace style?
There's a few producers working with older oak which gives the wines a fatness and density that their tank fermented counterparts don't exhibit. They are, of course, still quintessentially Australian iterations, but they are very very good. Try the Wolta Wolta (collab between Loosen and Jim Barry), the Rieslingfreak No 1 (Grounds of Grandeur) and the Forest Hill Block 1 (no oak, but the fruit profile is muscly and full, another cool wine to have a look at). You know what... I recently also tried the Stargazer riesling (TAS). Was really impressed by the concentration and detail. Lotsof flavour. Hope this gives you something to start on!
@@erinlarkin Thanks Erin, by the way I'm a UK viewer, loving the videos, keep it up.
Thank you!
We know we missed a few... for a number of reasons (availability within the timeframe mainly)... who's on your list that we haven't mentioned?
Grosset Polish Hill!
Episode 2 ;)

For sure in my personal opinion, there are a few of outstanding tasmania Riesling. They deserve a go!!
Helm! (Canberra) & Crawford River (Henty) - both amazing
