Castle Rock Estate
The leading pinot maker in Western Australia and one of its elite riesling producers, this small cool-climate estate in the Porongurup Ranges is also steadily refining a deeply perfumed, flavoured and briary Shiraz. The spectacularly intense and pure Porongurup Riesling from is typically outstanding, confirming this site as one of the most important in the entire Great Southern. The site develops an outstanding perfume and natural acidity, which is also evident in its Chardonnays. The company's collection of four rieslings gives buyers the opportunity to explore the influences of site and winemaking technique.
