The Lethbridge Riesling Biodynamic from Mount Gambier is a distinctive expression of cool-climate winemaking, crafted with a commitment to biodynamic principles. Lethbridge Wines, founded in 1996 by a trio of scientists passionate about viticulture, is celebrated for producing wines that authentically reflect their terroir. This Riesling showcases the pristine environment of Mount Gambier, one of Australia’s emerging wine regions, known for its volcanic soils and maritime influences.
The biodynamic approach employed at Lethbridge focuses on holistic vineyard management, enhancing soil health and vine vitality. The cool climate of Mount Gambier, characterized by long growing seasons, allows the Riesling grapes to develop intense aromatics and natural acidity. Hand-harvested at optimal ripeness, the fruit is handled with minimal intervention to preserve its purity and regional expression.

This Riesling reveals a fragrant nose of lime zest, green apple, and white blossoms, with subtle mineral notes that hint at its volcanic origins.
The palate is crisp and refreshing, offering flavors of citrus, white peach, and a touch of honey, balanced by a vibrant acidity. The wine’s structure and length make it both immediately appealing and suitable for aging, allowing complex tertiary notes to emerge over time.
