NEWSFLASH

The 2011 Forbes & Forbes Cellar Matured Riesling has garnered two gold medals at major wine shows in the last week.

The 2010 Cellar Matured Riesling was a magnificent wine (now sold out), scoring a Trophy, 7 Gold medals and 6 Silver medals in national wine shows.

Following on from the 2010, the show record of the 2011 Riesling is continuing to demonstrate that good Riesling can be aged for a considerable time. These awards illustrate that quality fruit from a premium cool climate area can and should produce a great wine with patience.

This was the start of my love affair with Riesling.  Over the next few years, I studied Wine Science by correspondence, learning the theory and science to back up my practical experience.  I bought a small vineyard at Springton, consisting only of old vine Riesling.
