Tasting Notes

Shy Susan Riesling 2023

"Shy Susan now looks to the King Valley rather than Tasmania for its riesling. The move is a natural fit. Fragrant and pure in lime, lemon, green apple and gentle alpine florals. A fine-pitched palate, taut in acidity and structured with time on its side. Lime and grapefruit, some pithy texture and a crisp, juicy finish now, but watch it grow." 95 points, Special Value, Jeni Port, Halliday Wine Companion

The cool climate project of husband and wife Glenn James and Jo Marsh, where the sole focus is producing wines of elegance and poise. They became Halliday darlings when Shy Susan debuted as Best New Winery in the 2020 Companion. Sourcing fruit from only the most exceptional vineyards, the wines are produced in miniscule quantities. The beautiful label art is the ‘Shy Susan (Tetratheca gunnii); a critically endangered wildflower endemic to a tiny part of Tasmania. Her survival depends completely on 
a little native bee, who alone is capable of pollination. Their fate is forever entwined.’
