Producer Background:
Sam Connew’s Stargazer winery is renowned for her ability to craft Riesling that is both precise and expressive. Established in 2012 in Tasmania, her approach focuses on expressing terroir through native yeasts, minimal intervention, and sustainable practices. Her wines are celebrated for their clarity, balance, and ability to age gracefully. The 2025 Riesling is a shining example of her skill and Tasmania’s rising prominence as a world-class Riesling region.

Nose: Classic Tea Tree characters of crisp apple skin and citrus, layered with spice notes of nutmeg and cardamom, alongside honeysuckle and chamomile floral hints.
- Palate: Well-balanced with natural acidity and a touch of residual sugar, creating a harmonious profile that’s both lively and rounded. Notes of spice, saline minerality, and a subtle fennel crunch add complexity and intrigue, making it more than just fruit and acid.
Food Pairings:
Enjoy the Stargazer Riesling with:
-
Seafood: Fresh oysters, white fish, or shellfish highlight its crispness.
-
Asian Cuisine: Spicy dishes or sushi that complement its spice and floral notes.

Approachable now with its vibrant acidity, but built to evolve beautifully over the next decade, gaining more depth and nuance with age.
