Prophet's Rock Dry Riesling 2024
Prophet’s Rock Riesling is a beautifully expressive Central Otago white. Bright, aromatic, and shaped by the steep schist soils of Rocky Point. Expect lifted notes of jasmine, citrus zest, and stone fruit, carried by taut acidity and a long, mineral finish. Wild‑fermented and crafted with the same care as their flagship Pinot Noir, this is Riesling with real tension and elegance: vibrant on release, yet built to evolve gracefully in the cellar.
Prophet’s Rock is one of Central Otago’s most respected boutique wineries, founded in the late 1990s and shaped by winemaker Paul Pujol’s deep Old‑World experience in Alsace and Burgundy. The estate farms steep glacial terraces in Bendigo with a strict minimal‑intervention philosophy, hand‑harvesting, wild‑yeast fermentations, and meticulous vineyard work that treats Riesling and Pinot Noir with equal seriousness. Their wines are known for precision, texture, and terroir expression (schist, clay, quartz, and pedogenic limestone all playing a role) resulting in elegant, age‑worthy bottles that consistently earn top critical acclaim.
