GREENHOUGH APPLE VALLEY RIESLING 2024

Good Riesling is all about balance, and Greenhough has absolutely nailed it with this one. At just $15.99, this is a wonderful reminder of why Riesling remains one of the great value white wine varieties.

Certified organic, hand harvested and with a modest 10% alcohol, it's a beautifully refreshing off-dry style (20g/L RS) that's perfect for the warmer months ahead.

Aptly named Apple Valley, this has all the crisp, juicy character of a Granny Smith apple, alongside green pear, fresh lime, delicate florals and a touch of spice. But what really impressed us was the wonderful balance between residual sugar and acidity. That classic Riesling yin and yang, where the sweetness brings generosity and texture while the acidity keeps everything fresh and mouthwatering. Neither dominates, and the result is a thoroughly delicious Riesling that leaves you wanting another glass.

Winery notes (2024 Vintage)
"Hand harvested and whole bunch pressed, the fermentation was chilled and stopped to achieve precise balance between luscious sweetness and racy natural acidity. The resulting wine is crispy juicy in a refreshingly low alcohol style. 20g/L residual sugar."

5 Stars & 95/100 Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, June 2026 (2024 Vintage)
"It's fabulously expressed on the nose with aromas of Gala apple, lemon sorbet, orange peel, and white flowers with a hint of toasty complexity. The palate exhibits excellent focus and persistence, wonderfully complemented by elegant sweetness and beautifully integrated acidity, making it splendidly harmonious and deliciously appealing. Style: Medium-dry. Certified Organic. At its best: now to 2036."
