Fowles Wines 'Stone Dwellers' Victoria Riesling 2022 - 6 Bottles

Winery Overview

Fowles Wine is a 100 % family-owned winery set in the high-altitude granite soils of the Strathbogie Ranges in Victoria. Their Stone Dwellers label selects fruit from premium sites to deliver wines that combine cool-climate freshness with varietal purity.

Region and Vintage Conditions

The grapes for this 2022 Riesling come from the Strathbogie Ranges, where cool nights and warm days help retain crisp acidity and fruit clarity. These conditions are ideal for producing a lively, clean white wine.

Source

Fruit is drawn from select vineyard blocks chosen for low yields and strong flavour intensity. The aim is to capture the site’s character and express it in every bottle.

Winemaking

The wine is fermented and matured in stainless steel to preserve freshness and aromatics. This method ensures that the fruit flavour remains the focus, while the minerality of the region shines through.

Tasting Notes

Appearance: Pale straw with soft green tints.

Aroma: Bright citrus zest, green apple, white blossom and a hint of crushed stone minerality.

Palate: Vibrant and focused with intense lemon and orchard fruit flavours framed by a distinct mineral thread. The acidity keeps the wine crisp and clean right through to the finish.

Finish: Long, zesty and refreshing with subtle herbal lifts and a firm mineral spine.
