Stargazer Single Vineyard Riesling 2025

Our Verdict

Sam Connew is one of Australia’s most experienced and gifted winemakers, and her Stargazer wines are sensational, and becoming more so with every release.

"The 2025 Riesling is tightly coiled and composed, fresh and floral. Where the Palisander is texturally complex and weighty in its delivery of powerful fruit and focused acidity, this presents an altogether more feathery experience, one that tends to dance across the palate, rather than march. Here, we have lime flesh, lemon curd, white flowers and crushed rocks. It may not be as complex as the Palisander nor as layered, but I find it to be irresistibly detailed, fresh and pleasurable. It's a matter of choosing your preference, really. It's an excellent wine." 95 Points -  Erin Larkin, The Wine Advocate

"A fragrant and wonderfully perfumed Coal River Valley riesling that shows characters of green apple, grapefruit, yuzu, lime, apple blossom, mineral salts, clover and crushed stone. There are little crushed mountain herb notes that join in on the palate, with a fine, lacy mineral driveline and a swell of green apple, citrus and stone on the back end." 93 Points - Dave Brookes, Halliday Wine Companion
