2024 Helm Tumbarumba Riesling, Tumbarumba

The philosophy at Helm Wines is that wine making is an art not a science. The winemaker is the custodian of the grape and has the potential to create a masterpiece. They strive to produce premium quality wines that reflect the true characteristics of the grape and the land or ‘terroir’ in which they have been grown.

Their wines have always been well received by wine critics and reviewers, a testament to the quality Riesling and Cabernet Sauvignon wines produced in the Canberra District.

This is a taut, racy and aromatic Riesling from the high country of NSW. There’s a lovely floral element and crisp minerality on the nose that flows to a fresh, enticing palate that kicks in with a fruity citrus attack then finishes with mineral, citrus and green melon. Excellent.
