Winery notes (2023 Vintage)
"Delicate notes of apple blossom, nectarine, honeysuckle, lime zest – with mineral undertones. On the palate – intense lime, zesty mandarin and ripe red apple. Bright acidity brings freshness and balances with generous fruit sweetness. These two aspects are accentuated by the natural spritz retained from fermentation which provides lift in the mid-palate. The reprise is long and lingering with a satisfyingly crisp cleansing texture."

Rated Excellent & 94/100 Cameron Douglas MS, March 2025 (2023 Vintage)
"Lifted, fruity, varietal and nicely complex bouquet centering on aromas of orange and mandarin peel, white rose and apple flesh. There’s also a core of minerality with wet pebbles or river stone scents. An off-dry wine touches the palate with the residual sweetness immediately contrasted by acidity and core fruit flavour intensity. Apples and orange, mandarin and lime flavours. Well made, balanced and ready to drink from day of purchase through 2033."

90/100 Erin Larkin, RobertParker.com, December 2024 (2023 Vintage)
"The 2023 Hellblock Riesling is sweet and viscose, with a bitter edge of green lime and kaffir leaf in the mouth. The weave is loose, like raw linen, and there is a real textural weight, with great persistence of flavour. I love the very finish of this wine; it lingers and appears fresher the longer it is there. The initial attack of residual sugar and firm acidity is a lot to digest, and only when they fade does the wine make more sense. Serving this quite cold could help to clean up the quibbles I have about the integration of acidity and residual sugar."

The Boneline is a family business who started planting in 1989, continuing to craft wine exclusively from this original vineyard, in their own winery. They were one of the early Waipara vineyard pioneers, recognising the areas potential as a premium wine region.

Boneline's location was selected on the basis of meeting rigorous selection criteria: frost-free micro climate, north-facing and north of the Ashley River, with a limestone and gravel base. Grape varieties have been matched to the sites across four unique levels of terraces to maximise grape potential.

Boneline's Cellar Door offers seated tastings, a sharing-style snacks menu, a library wine selection (previous vintages), and a wine store. They also host weddings and events.

On weekends a Vineyard walkway is open for cellar door guests to walk the property and learn about the various blocks (there are 22 signs along the way).
