The 2025 release draws on fruit harvested early from a collection of sites including Long Rail Gully and Nanima in Murrumbateman, Briar Ridge in the Hunter Valley, and estate vineyards, bringing together a layered expression of site and season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"524\" data-end=\"909\"\u003eHandled with a light touch throughout, the fruit was hand-harvested and gently pressed before fermentation in a mix of concrete tulips, large-format oak foudre and ceramic eggs. This thoughtful combination of vessels builds texture and complexity while preserving the wine’s natural energy. Bottled unfined and unfiltered, the result is a Riesling that feels both raw and finely tuned.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"911\" data-end=\"1269\"\u003eStylistically, this leans savoury and structured rather than overtly fruit-driven. Aromatics of pickled lime, preserved lemon, ginger and lemongrass lead into a palate that is concentrated yet vibrant, with notes of green apple, almond and a subtle, spicy edge. There is a distinct sense of tension throughout, finishing long, lifted and full of personality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1271\" data-end=\"1634\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e“This is a savoury-leaning yet scintillating riesling. It doesn’t scrimp on pickled lime, preserved lemon, ginger, lemongrass and green apple scents and then relays the same in concentrated flavours. Green almond calls in, a little jalapeño and white balsamic lift too. Intense, vibrant, exceptional persistence and heaps of character.”\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1607\" data-end=\"1610\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e— Mike Bennie, 94 points\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1636\" data-end=\"1760\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003eA compelling expression of modern Australian Riesling, shaped as much by texture and detail as it is by freshness and drive.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Appellance","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50176268566721,"sku":null,"price":34.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0843\/3428\/0897\/files\/rav.webp?v=1777795669"},{"product_id":"ravensworth-pinot-gris-2025-canberra","title":"Ravensworth Pinot Gris 2025 Canberra","description":"\u003cp data-start=\"0\" data-end=\"343\"\u003eThe 2025 Pinot Gris from \u003cspan class=\"hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"whitespace-normal\"\u003eRavensworth\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e is a textural, skin-contact expression shaped by the hands of \u003cspan class=\"hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"whitespace-normal\"\u003eBryan Martin\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e.

In keeping with Bryan Martin’s distinctive approach, the fruit is treated like a red wine: fully destemmed and fermented on skins in small open-top fermenters for approximately four weeks. This extended maceration builds texture, phenolic grip and savoury complexity before the wine is pressed to tank for settling and bottling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"842\" data-end=\"1202\"\u003eThe 2025 vintage is described as a near-perfect season—moderate warmth, timely rainfall and exceptional fruit quality—resulting in a wine of clarity and abundance.
