2021 R. D'Meure Coal Valley Riesling (Orange)

‘Crikey. Right up there (again) with the best of skin ferment wines in this country. The marriage of curry spice characters, dried and fresh apple, chalky, chewy tannins, super bright and frisky acidity, length, shape, vitality, it’s all here. Brilliant wine in its kaleidoscope of scents and flavours, a satisfying and refreshing orange wine with strong DNA of riesling, citrus, apple, florals, spice, tonic water, yet the inimitable orange wine spunk of savouriness, but so well balanced in it all here. What a stellar wine.’ 
- Mike Bennie, Winefront. Rated : 96 Points

About R.D'meure

Rory Duggan’s journey into winemaking was one of both serendipity and dedication. After university and years of travel, Rory found himself drawn to the world of grape growing, joining his uncle, Dirk, to tend to the vines at the family’s vineyard in Tasmania.

Rory's deep connection to the land was forged through years of learning and hands-on experience in organic vineyard management, from canopy management to pruning and harvesting.

Over time, his passion for wine led him to create wines that reflect both his own approach and the principles of his uncle. With a firm belief in sustainability and a holistic approach to winemaking, Rory's wines are crafted without additives, fining, or filtration, showcasing a pure, artisan style.

His wines, much like his path, are a blend of tradition, craftsmanship, and youthful energy, offering a vibrant complexity that speaks to his unique vision.
