Curlewis Riesling 2021, Mulline, Geelong

Packed with notes of lemon, tonic and lime leaf, a good dose of sweetness and some spritely acidity.

Mulline Vintners is the project of two Bens, Ben Mullen and Ben Hine. Their goal is the creation of unique regional and single vineyard wines, exclusively from the relatively undiscovered Geelong region of Victoria.

It was here that the couple saw the opportunity to set up their own label, sourcing grapes from the finest parcels in Geelong’s diverse subregions: the Moorabool Valley to the west, the Bellarine Peninsula to the south-east, and the Surf Coast to the south-west.

Established in 2018, their first vintage in 2019 heralded a truly compelling style of wine that firmly puts Geelong on the fine wine map. Making elegant and structured single-vineyard wines, these are expressions that speak of place and the exciting new wave of Australian wine.
