The result of a cool, late vintage, this wine is exactly what one could hope for. It immediately presents a bouquet rich with intense lime notes that evolve into a long, complex progression of citrus flavors. The back label notes, "Since its inception in 1986, this wine has been the flagship of our Rieslings."

The Diletti family operates an exceptional 55-hectare vineyard with stunning views of the Porongurup Range, growing Riesling, Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Grüner Veltliner. The two-level winery, designed to leverage gravity flow, enhances the quality of their wines. Their Rieslings are known for their elegance and aging potential, the Pinot Noir is consistently top-notch, the Shiraz showcases the best of cool-climate characteristics, and the Chardonnay is a standout in their impressive lineup. Rob Diletti’s expert palate and sensitive winemaking make Castle Rock a standout in WA.
