The Oakridge Specialty Range is a playful series made up of non-core vineyards, alternate varieties and experimental blends.

Pale straw with green hues. Grilled lime, white nectarine, apple tart tartine lifted spicy notes. These flavours carry over onto the palate where there is both depth and dimension. The richness of those flavours are pinned with a thread of strong citrus acidity, some phenolic crunch and a flicker of sugar sweetness leaving an overall sense of richness and the perception of being just off-dry.

Single Vineyard fruit sourced from a pocket of ancient red volcanic soils in Wandin Yallock. Vines planted in 1978 by Horst "Jim" Zitzlaff and the original home of Oakridge before moving to our current home in Coldstream. The Riesling was always Horst's favorite variety on the property so naming the wine in his honor seemed more than appropriate.

Grapes were handpicked and whole bunch pressed before a natural fermentation on full solids and ageing on yeast lees. Only 70 dozen produced.

A very long, cool growing season with low crops and abundant rainfall has resulted in wines with outstanding aromatic qualities and strong varietal definition.
