Taste Profile

Tasting Notes

Expect an expressive floral lift on the nose, dominated by citrus blossom and fresh lime zest with just a hint of tropical fruit. The palate is lively yet soft, carrying those zesty lime flavours through a mineral-driven core, complemented by subtle touches of guava and passionfruit. It finishes with impressive length and a crisp, refreshing snap.

Winemaking

Harvested in the cool of night to retain maximum freshness, the grapes were gently pressed using modern membrane tank presses. After cold settling, the clear juice was fermented at cool temperatures in stainless steel tanks with selected yeasts to preserve the vibrant primary aromatics. Handling was kept to a minimum before gentle filtration and bottling at the Renmark winery.

Vineyard & Vintage

This single vineyard wine hails from the certified organic Nanya Vineyard in the Riverland region. The 2025 vintage benefited from a warm spring and consistent summer heat without prolonged heatwaves, allowing for even ripening and excellent natural acidity. Pruning strategies were used to concentrate fruit quality, resulting in a vibrant and varietally expressive Riesling.

Why We Love It

We love the "clean fruit, clean farming" philosophy that defines the Little Birdie range. There is something special about drinking a wine from 50-year-old heritage vines that has been handled with such a gentle, organic touch. It’s pure, energetic, and dangerously drinkable.

Food Pairing

This zesty Riesling is a natural match for fresh seafood and fragrant, spice-driven Asian cuisine. Its high acidity cuts through oily fish beautifully while complementing delicate shellfish.
