Expert Reviews

Named in honour of the late, great winemaker Don Lewis, who made stunning rieslings for four decades. While the '23 vintage was challenging, you can't help but admire the quality of fruit, the pure, racy precision employed to deliver another top Lewis Riesling bursting in lime, grapefruit, green apple with a gentle flourish of lemongrass herbals, all tied beautifully in brisk acidity. Lipsmacking good. Will age a treat. Date: Dec 2023; Alcohol: 12.5%; Drink by: 2033; Rating: 96 Points & Special Value Star; Jeni Port; James Halliday Wine Companion

Winery Tasting Notes

From one of Australia's best Riesling winemakers, comes this impeccably structured wine. It's overflowing with orange and quince blossom and hints of mint and thyme. Deliciously mouth-filling, the palate explodes with lemon and lime flavours that take you all the way to a crisp, dry, lingering finish.

Winery Profile

The extensive experience and winemaking knowledge of Don Lewis combined with Narelle King's broad thinking and diverse skill set, brought partnership strength to Tar & Roses. For the past three years, Don and Narelle have been making wine in Priorat, Spain, fuelling their intrigue in the classic European varietals, particularly Nebbiolo.

Their interests were not confined to the varietals or wine styles solely in traditional European regions, but how these varieties could be grown and made in Australia.

Back in Australia, Don and Narelle have concentrated on producing wines from these European varietals in their own region - Central Victoria. Here, they make Tempranillo, Nebbiolo, Pinot Grigio and Sangiovese in addition to a Central Victorian Shiraz, one of Don's signature varieties.

Tar & Roses encapsulates the complexity and interest of this story. One that shows the friendship between Don and Narelle, and the multi-regions of Italy, Spain and Australia. It is a brand that speaks of the traditions of wine merging with the cutting edge of Australian winemaking, bridging the old world with the new.
