Mayfield Vineyard Riesling Backyard 2024

From the high-altitude slopes of Mayfield Vineyard in Orange, NSW, the Backyard Riesling 2024 is a bright, dry and beautifully expressive cool-climate Riesling. Guided by the Eastham family's philosophy of minimal intervention and single-vineyard expression, this wine showcases the purity, elegance and vibrant natural acidity that have become hallmarks of the estate.

The vineyard's elevation of 950 metres above sea level, combined with rich basalt and loam soils, creates ideal conditions for producing Riesling with exceptional freshness, intensity and balance.

Beautifully clear with a delicate straw hue, the wine opens with lifted aromas of lime, green apple blossom and subtle spice. The palate is crisp and refreshing, showcasing vibrant green apple and citrus flavours supported by bright natural acidity. Bone dry and finely balanced, it delivers a long, clean finish and outstanding drinkability.
