Bream Creek Vineyard Riesling 2026 is a pristine Tasmanian Riesling from one of the oldest vineyards on Tasmania’s east coast — established in 1974 on a north-east ridge overlooking Marion Bay and the Tasman Sea, where cool maritime conditions, long sunny summers, and an extended autumn ripening period produce fruit of exceptional intensity and focus. Fragrant, dry, and deeply mineral, this is a Riesling that can be enjoyed immediately or cellared with confidence for up to ten years.
Tasting Notes
Appearance
Pale straw with a bright, luminous clarity — the hallmark of a cool-climate Tasmanian Riesling of exceptional precision, with the purity and focus that Bream Creek’s east coast maritime conditions and hand-harvested, low-yielding vines deliver.
Aroma
Lifted and fragrant — lime blossom, orange blossom, green apple, and nashi pear lead with freshness and elegance, with ripe lime and lemon pith adding citrus depth and wet stone minerality providing a distinctive and compelling cool-climate character.
Palate
Crisp and vibrant — mirroring the nose with a saline streak and a hint of kaffir lime leaf that lifts the fruit beautifully. Orange peel and subtle pineapple notes add mid-palate interest, whilst bright acidity keeps the wine precise and focused. The texture is sleek, with a chalky, citrus-driven finish of excellent length and a distinct wet-stone minerality.
Pairs With
A brilliant match for fresh local seafood — grilled Tasmanian flathead or lemon-dressed oysters are the natural choice. Also exceptional with spicy Asian salads, goat’s cheese tartlets, and delicate white fish dishes.
