One of Australia's most decorated Rieslings
Trophy 2025 London Wine Show Riesling of the Year
TrophY 2025 London Wine Show Wine of the Year, Australia
An astonishing murmuration of orange peel, orchard fruit and honeyed toast soars across the nose accompanying pearls of flinty mineral wisdom. Textured and waxy with a steely acid drive and a fantastically long lasting finish.
97 points & Platinum at the 2026 Decanter World Wine Awards
Sourced from the Petney Home Block, grown by the Petney Family. A more southerly site with nutrient rich soils and on a steep gradient slope. Here minerality is a marking factor and in another dry vintage, canopy management and the precise picking times was crucial for capturing flavour and balance. Silver needle tea, cider apples and pomelo pith. The crack of blue rock flint, pumice stone and fresh fennel bulb. There is an equal pull of creamy ricotta and sideline palate cleanse of acidity. An immediacy to its palate satisfaction. A slinky wine with commendable purity and persistence. Here the fresh and piquant cheeses of the world will shine, served with garden edibles with crunch. Drink now or go on the journey for another decade of evolution.
96 points Shanteh Wale for Wine Pilot
Mid-straw, green and bright. A touch of toast, lemon curd, melon, grapefruit and lime leaf. Textured, mouth-filling, pithy, citrus and punchy acidity. There's lovely line, texture and purity of flavour here. Drink to 2035.
95 points Aaron Brasher for The Real Review, May 2025
Andrew Wigan was the Chief Winemaker for Peter Lehmann Wines from 1980 to 2014. Peter Lehmann’s reputation for Barossa Shiraz was complemented by Andrew’s passion for white wines, and his contribution to the Lehmann story was recognised in 2003 with the re-naming of the revered Reserve Riesling as Wigan Riesling. It has been named Best Riesling in the World six times by the International Wine and Spirit Competition, and has accumulated more than eighty trophies since its inaugural vintage. Few Australian white wines can claim a more decorated history.
