2023 Shobbrook Riesling

About The Wine

From a vineyard in Eden Valley at 500 metres above sea level, rooted in sandy loam over clay and hard sandstone. The 2023 vintage was cooler and wetter than usual, one that demanded patience. The Riesling was picked quite late due to the season and directly pressed into stainless steel, where it rested on its lees for two years.

The result is a lean yet profound Riesling of freshness and irresistible slurpiness. Gorgeously aromatic with honey blossoms, ripe apricots, and citrus that cascade onto a creamy palate layered with nectarine, lime, and striking minerality.

About Tom Shobbrook

Tom Shobbrook is one of Australia’s most influential natural-wine pioneers, crafting soulful, low-intervention wines from his high-elevation farm in the S.A. in Vine Vale.

Working organically and fermenting with native yeasts in open tanks, ceramic eggs, and old wood, Tom lets his fruit and his soils speak clearly. His wines are lean, bright, and full of tension — shaped by sandy-loam soils over clay and by a philosophy of “nothing added, nothing taken away.”

From the juicy, sun-kissed vibrancy of Poolside, to the delicate, energy Riesling from Eden Valley, to the aromatic texture of Pedro & Chardonnay, every bottle carries Tom’s unmistakable clarity and purity. Small-scale, hand-crafted, and deeply rooted in place, Shobbrook Wines continue to redefine what the Barossa can be.
