Pressing Matters

The R9 sits between the bone-dry R0 and the luscious R139, nine grams of residual sugar that adds just enough roundness to soften the edges without losing the wine's electric energy. Pale with green tinges, the nose is delicate with preserved lime, dried rose petal, pear, and Cox's Orange Pippin apple. Juicy and bright on the palate, with a clean, clear finish. The perfect introduction to the Pressing Matters range. Pair with Asian cuisine, fresh seafood, or soft cheeses. Drink now through 2031.

MUSEUM RELEASE

Yellow-gold color with rich apricot, honey, and citrus flavors balanced by a high, vibrant natural acidity characteristic of Tasmanian cool-climate Riesling. Nearly two decades of bottle age have deepened complexity while preserving the wine's signature elegance and structure. A rare museum quality vintage for collectors and enthusiasts seeking provenance and maturity.

Pristine, crystalline dessert Riesling defined by pitch perfect purity. Crystalline acidity cuts through like frozen wild lemon and lime juice, the hallmark of a truly great sweet wine. At 139g/L residual sugar, the boiled lolly sweetness sits in exquisite balance, almost meeting the acidity at its midpoint. The finish is a superb, lingering persistence that seems to stretch endlessly across the palate. A masterclass in restraint and refinement.

At 139 grams of residual sugar, the R139 is Pressing Matters' most indulgent Riesling and one of the most extraordinary sweet wines made in Australia. From the cool 2021 Coal River Valley harvest, winemaker Sam Connew has crafted something of sublime elegance. Pale straw-green, with pure aromas of white lily, Granny Smith apple, lime, and lemon. Vibrant acidity perfectly balances the natural sweetness, delivering a finish of extraordinary length. Enjoy now or cellar for decades. Pair with blue cheese, crème brûlée, or fresh stone fruit. Drink now through 2041.

The R0 is Pressing Matters' bone-dry expression. Zero grams of residual sugar, nothing to hide behind. Pale with green highlights, the nose reveals preserved lime, dried rose petal, and pear, with a crisp Cox's orange crunch. Clean and vibrant on the palate, with juicy flavours and impressive length. A Riesling for those who like their whites with real backbone. Pair with fresh oysters, sashimi, or grilled fish. Drink now through 2032.
