Description
Best's Great Western Foundre Riesling 2025 x 6The aromatic Riesling juice is given extended skin contact then wild fermented in large French oak foudre (barrels), one made by Marc Grenier in France and the other by the Schneckenleitner family in Austria. The wine exhibits both the complexities of a barrel ferment and spontaneous fermentation without the overt oak flavour, due to the large size and subtlety of the foudre. The Foudre Ferment is a representation of another facet of Rieslings charms.

The Foudre Ferment is a representation of another facet of Riesling’s charms. The aromatic characteristics of this wine are best appreciated in the short to medium term, but this wine will gain complexity over time.

WHAT DO THE WINE CRITIS SAY?
2025 Foudre Ferment Riesling
'Off the Rhymney vineyard: 24 hours on skins, pressed, fermented in large oak foudre, left on solids for six months. 10g/L RS. A pioneering wine that showed Riesling in a new light, a textural and almost funky light, when the '15 vintage was released.
It's changed slightly, gaining an almost off-dry status. It's not needed but the purity of the fruit and lovely textural qualities remain. Lemongrass, lime , pink grapefruit, honeysuckle, apple, pear and ginger light up the palate.
Smooth to taste with a lovely depth of intensity, it finishes with a gently grippy resolve.' JP 11.5%
Halliday Wine Companion- JP, 100 new tasting notes, Winter 2025
'Light lemon color. Feijoa and sweet pastry aromatics. Palate has weight and texture, green tropical fruits with a swet pastry overlay. Good length, with acidity supple in the background to carry it along.' Rating 91 points.
