John Innes is a 30-year veteran of Coonawarra, with a deep knowledge of it and the surrounding region that he is putting to good use with his Ottelia project. We continue to be impressed by the wines made under the Ottelia label, which consistently deliver excellent varietal purity and value-for-money.
Produced from grapes grown on the Innes family vineyard in Mount Gambier, the 2024 Ottelia Riesling is another intensely flavoured and complex Riesling, with fragrant aromas of lime, lemon thyme and citrus blossom leaping out of the glass. The palate is beautifully structured with citrus, herbal and mineral notes balanced with lively natural acidity, leading to a long, clean finish.
