Buckle up! This one’s an adventure. Expressive as anything, this is practically art. In fact, what the heck, it is art! Our kind of art, anyway. It’s a complex aroma, with crushed strawberries and kirsch woven together with cured meat and turned earth. The palate is all comfort. Sweet fruit sitting on a forest floor. Pure bloody poetry.

A delivery from Rising makes any day feel like a reason to celebrate. Sat in the aptly named Christmas Hills in the Yarra Valley, their wine is small batch done right. Small parcels of delicious fruit, carefully chosen. We can’t help but admire the quiet way these guys go about each expression, it’s pure passion at play. For winemaker Anthony Fikkers, less is more when it comes to intervention. And after a hop, skip and jump across Italy, France, Germany and the Hunter Valley, 13 years later, he’s ready to share his passion for cool-climate goodness with anyone willing to slurp away.

FROM THE WINEMAKER

"Vintage at Rising started on 23rd February with Gewurztraminer, almost two weeks later than vintage 2020. This later picking was due to mild temperatures and a huge amount of rain through January. These conditions allowed the grapes plenty of time to accumulate lots of flavour while still retaining moderate alcohols – 12. 5 to 13% on average. 2021 was a goldilocks vintage where everything was just right; the resultant wines can be consumed young or cellared for a while—a vintage of balance, energy, and flavour."

FOOD MATCHING

It’s hard to go wrong here. Noodles are a go. Cheeseboards are a no-brainer. Or pepperoni pizza. Netflix and swill written all over it.
