After searching the globe for an ideal place to plant vines with the aim of making high quality wines, Bellarmine Wines was founded in 2000 on a picturesque property in the pristine cool climate region of Pemberton, South-West Western Australia.

This is in the typical Aussie dry style, and gives just what we expect. Citrus aromas, floral, with a touch of flower blossom. Leads to a palate showing lime flavours and background minerality.

A generous and complex mouthfilling riesling with lime, lemon and Granny Smith apple flavours (in that order of importance). Notwithstanding its development potential, it's no sin to share a bottle or two without further delay.
