Brackenwood Riesling 2025
$ 36.00 incl. GST
Description
Dry Riesling has long been a solid foot forward for the vineyard; as Damon puts it, in 2025 the vineyard simply wanted to make an off-dry wine, the natural ferment finishing at the lower end of off-dry at 8g/L residual sugar. The wine is further distinguished by 100% malolactic fermentation and aged half each in neutral barrel and stainless steel, on fine lees for six months. Riesling made like Chardonnay, in many ways.
The lees work gives some intrigue to the aromatics – fresh donuts and pastries, alongside honeysuckle and citrus. So much going on flavour-wise – fruit tarts, quince, pineapple, green apple, lemon squash, pastries and mandarin, the residual sugar adding to the malo for much more a texture than flavour impact, certainly a unique style, and will be a brilliant pairing wine alongside salty savoury foods as well as spicy dishes.

Brackenwood Vineyard / Adelaide Hills, Sa
Biodynamic Minimal Intervention Wines From A Beautiful Adelaide Hills Estate
Owner Damon Nagel started life as a sommelier in Adelaide, moving to London to further his wine education whilst working in top end dining restaurants. Achieving success in London property, he would eventually return to Adelaide, purchasing the beautiful undulating Brackenwood farm in the early 2000s, first releasing wines from vintage 2005.
Winemaking is today overseen by Daniel Zuzolo, ex Primo Estate, with the stable offering interesting blends and lesser seen plantings of Barbera and Gamay alongside more traditional offerings such as Shiraz and Riesling.
Growing and winemaking is strictly along biodynamic lines, with no additions bar minimal sulphur at bottling. A pure set of releases very much at home alongside Felixir’s European offerings, fun styles of personality with enough depth and interest to be taken seriously.
