Named in honour of Peter Lehmann's mentee, Andrew Wigan, Wigan Riesling is the pinnacle of Peter Lehmann's white winemaking. Crafted from exceptional Eden Valley vineyards and released only after careful bottle maturation, it is a wine of remarkable purity, precision and longevity. The 2019 vintage is an outstanding expression, showcasing the elegance, intensity and age-worthy character that have made Wigan one of Australia's most celebrated Rieslings.
Pale straw with brilliant green hues, the 2019 Wigan Riesling opens with lifted aromas of freshly squeezed lime, lemon blossom and delicate white florals, complemented by subtle notes of toast and citrus marmalade from careful bottle maturation. The palate is vibrant and finely structured, driven by pristine Eden Valley citrus, led by kaffir lime and lemon zest. A fine line of natural acidity brings precision and energy, while hints of honey and gently toasted citrus add depth and complexity. Powerful yet refined, it finishes with exceptional length, purity and minerality, with all the balance and structure to reward patient cellaring for decades.
Beautifully expressive now, with the structure and balance to evolve gracefully for 20 years or more.
Awarded 96/100 - Huon Hooke (The Real Review) - September 2026
"Bright, medium yellow colour, the bouquet bursts forth with aromas of hot buttered toast, lemon curd and lemon blossom underneath, the palate intense and bright with lovely mid-palate focus and balance, the finish dry and cleansing without austerity. A cracking riesling now in the prime of its life."
Awarded 95/100 - Campbell Mattinson (The Wine Front) - September 2026
"This wine is in that magical place where everything feels fresh and yet everything feels developed. It's limey and saline and savoury and spicy (even), with ozone, mineral, hay, whispers of kero and wax-like notes all in play. It offers a lot, and it keeps it all going beautifully through to the finish. Truth be told: aged riesling rarely floats my boat. But this wine does. It delivers everything with both conviction and beauty."
