Helm
Ken Helm is a champion of the riesling variety who has steadily refined his art at his Canberra vineyard. While the occasionally Old Worldly cabernets can struggle for ripeness, 2013 and 2014 appear to have delivered another fine white vintage with a stellar Classic Dry Riesling, with typical intensity, focus and purity. At their finest, Helm rieslings can be world class.
