2025 “Heroes” Vineyard Das Helden Riesling
$40.00
“A very bright, light green gold. James Thomas’ ode to German Kabinett-style riesling, and a good one at that. Aromas of red apple, lemon sherbet, feijoa and talc precede the gently sweet, appetising and well-balanced palate. A delicious wine to drink on its own, or with food, on a sunny summer afternoon.” – Philip Rich, Halliday Wine Companion 01 December 2025
