Monty’s Leap Riesling 2025
$32, 12.8% alcohol, screwcap, Great Southern.

Perfumed on the nose, fruitful on the palate, dry, structured and well sustained. This is an attractive riesling – good for drinking now but well-suited to spending a few years in the cellar. The main flavours are lemon, brine, tonic water and wet slate but floral aromas and hints of gooseberry on the palate add both breadth and interest. Everything here is nicely done, and it’s not hard to see it developing well too. 91 points.

When you pick up a wine book and see thousands of top-scoring wines, it’s hard to know which wine to choose. Mattinson guides you through this maze, giving you an honest view of the best Australian wines, the best wine stories, the best wine producers, the best value wines and simply, the best tasting wines. Importantly, Mattinson will tell you about the top-rated wines and also about the underrated wines. In short, Mattinson knows Australian wines inside and out.

Mattinson has been a photo-journalist since 1987. For the past 25 years he’s been a voice that you can trust when you’re looking for the best wines. He’s the only Australian to have won the Australian Wine Communicator of the Year Award more than once. He’s a past winner of a Louis Roederer International Wine Media Award, and is the author of the award-winning book The Wine Hunter. He’s not afraid to put a score beside a wine. But what he’d rather do, is tell you the wine’s story.
