2022 Pressing Matters R69 Riesling 750ml

Awards, Ratings & Reviews

96/100 — Huon Hooke, The Real Review · 2023 Vintage

"Pale green-yellow hue; a lifted perfume of honey, lime and lemon blossoms and the palate is rich and yet super-fine, the sweetness balancing out what is surely quite high acidity. The end result is gorgeous flavour and fruit/sugar/acid balance. The persistent honey note suggests the grapes were fully ripe. The finish is clean and harmonious. A smashing 'kabinett' style wine that will richly reward some cellaring."

96/100 — Ray Jordan, Winepilot · 2023 Vintage · Tasted: Apr 2025
“This is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Malbec and Petit Verdot planted by Bailey Carrodus way back in 1969. I suspect some pretty good fruit has found its way into this exceptional wine from the challenging vintage. Old vines in difficult times show their worth. Concentrated fruit with medium weight that presents with a stylish grace that is what this wine has been from the start. Has a typical minerally leafy thread with chalky tannins defining the palate length.”
