Wellington and Wolfe make Riesling the way it should be made, crisp, dry, and uncompromising. Vibrant floral aromas on the nose, with a textured palate of tart stone fruits and fresh lime. A strong acid backbone supports a long, powerful finish that lingers well after the glass is empty. A wine for those who know what they want. Pair with fresh oysters, grilled fish, or Thai cuisine. Drink now through 2032.

Wine Making

The hallmarks of our Riesling are crispness, texture and fruit power. Extended skin and lees contact and partial fermentation in old French oak barrels, along with meticulous attention to detail in both the vineyard and winery mean we can coax our fabulous fruit into a wine with a sense of place. It bursts with citrus and blossom characters, while the racing Tasmanian acidity drives a long palate full of depth and complexity.

Meet the owners

Wellington & Wolfe began in 2017 as Hugh McCullough's ode to Riesling, a variety he fell for during a history degree, oddly enough, named after two generals whose names kept cropping up in the places he'd travelled and worked. Hugh sources fruit from growers in the Tamar Valley and Pipers River, using an unusually hands-on approach, oxidative handling and skin contact that he stumbled into during his very first, tiny vintage when the fruit was too meagre to fit a proper press. The wines are fermented with wild yeast, partly in barrel, and bottled unfined and unfiltered, bone dry and full of character.

Tamar Valley

About the region

The Tamar Valley is Tasmania's oldest wine region, stretching from Launceston to the Bass Strait in the state's north. Its cool maritime climate and iron-rich soils create ideal growing conditions, and the numbers speak for themselves, home to over 30 family-owned wineries, the Tamar Valley accounts for more than a third of Tasmania's total wine production. Viticulture here goes back a long way too, with the first commercial vineyard established in the mid-1800s at Windermere, its cuttings even helping establish some of South Australia's earliest vineyards. Today, the Tamar Valley is celebrated for its Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Riesling and sparkling wines, each one reflecting the region's exceptional terroir and winemaking heritage.
