Description
WINEMAKER: Dirk Meure & Rory Duggan
REGION: Orford, TAS
VARIETY: Riesling
VITICULTURE: Organic
Riesling from the Antipodes vineyard in the Coal River Valley. Hand-harvested, whole bunch pressed, and racked off solids to seasoned French oak for fermentation. 2 years elevage on full lees before racking to tank for bottling.
It's always a good day when Rory Duggan's wines hit the shop. Rory is one of Tasmania's most talented winemakers, and this collaboration with his uncle, the iconic Dirk Meure, is proving to be a wonderful journey to follow. The R.D’meure winery is situated on the shores of the D’Entrecasteaux Channel, overlooking Bruny island, and is approximately 40 kilometers south of Hobart. The grapes grown under this label are situated on two sites, one at the winery and the other in the Coal River valley at Antipodes.
The approach in the vineyards and winery are best described as holistic, and the wines as artisan or hand-crafted. They are made without any additions, fining or filtration and a small dose of sulphur at bottling is added if required. No systemic sprays or herbicides are used in the vineyard and this has been the philosophy since 2004. Yields are kept very low, between half to three quarters of a kilo per vine, or approximately two tonnes per acre.

Come curious. Leave with a new favourite.
We don’t tell you what to drink. You don’t need to know your varietals, regions or vintages, and you certainly don’t need to pretend you do. Tell us what you like, hate, what you’ve tried or curious about — we’ll take it from there. Sometimes the best bottle is the one you didn’t know you wanted.
