Forest Hill Riesling
Dry Australian Riesling, lime fresh and built to last.
The story behind Forest Hill
Forest Hill is a family run producer in Western Australia's Great Southern, the cool southern coastline where Riesling and Shiraz both find a natural home. The region's maritime climate gives slow ripening and high natural acidity, which is why Great Southern Riesling comes out dry, taut and lime scented rather than soft. This is a house that has always favored restraint over show.
The wines are made to be drunk young and also to age, and the Riesling is the clearest case: citrus, slate and a clean finish, with the structure to sit in the cellar for years. We have poured and sold Forest Hill for a long time, and it remains one of the more honest bottles on the shelf.

Which Forest Hill is right for you?
All three Forest Hill bottles sit at $19.99, with the Chardonnay at $19.98, which is honest money for cool climate Australian wine. The Riesling at $19.99 is the value pick: dry, high acid and built to hold in the cellar. The Shiraz at the same price gives you pepper and grip for a weeknight roast. Buy a mixed six and the case does the work for you.
Dry and lime fresh, nothing sweet, converts people who swore off Riesling.
High acid and structure mean it will improve for years in a cool cellar.
Pepper and firm tannin stand up to lamb, steak and anything off the grill.
