95 Points - James Halliday
As the site of the first grape plantings in Western Australia's Great Southern region, Forest Hill is one of the pioneers of cool-climate winemaking in WA. Forest Hill's collection of Rieslings are some of the most impressive made anywhere in Australia; this entry-level offering always delivers remarkable value drinking.
This 2023 Forest Hill Vineyard Estate Riesling opens with lifted blossom, citrus and subtle yellow fruits leaping out of the glass. The palate is vibrant and textured, with concentrated lime juice, lemon, and subtle tropical notes all sitting in perfect harmony on the long finish.
"95 Points. A blend of Block 2 (planted 1975) and the youngest Highbury Fields site. Its lime and apple blossom fragrance leads the way for the palate with a delicate framework of acidity. The overall balance and length can't be faulted."- James Halliday, The Weekend Australian Magazine.
