Hardys Nottage Hill Riesling 75cl

Zesty, refreshing, and dangerously easy to finish, this is Australian Riesling for people who like their white wine bright and awake.

Hardys Nottage Hill Riesling is all about that citrus-and-crunch energy. You pour a glass and it immediately feels like a reset, perfect when you want something lighter, sharper, and more food-friendly than a buttery Chardonnay. It’s also a solid “first Riesling” if you’ve been living in Sauvignon Blanc land and want a new weeknight go-to without getting weird about it.

What you’re getting here is the classic Riesling superpower, flavour that pops (think lime and green apple) with acidity that keeps everything tight and refreshing. That acidity is the point. It’s what makes the wine feel clean, keeps it from dragging, and turns a random dinner into “wow, this actually works with food.”

• Appearance: Pale straw, bright and clear in the glass.
• Nose: Fresh lime zest first, then green apple and a little floral lift.
• Palate: Citrus-led fruit with a crisp, mouth-watering line of acidity that keeps it snappy.
• Body: Light-bodied and refreshing, made for easy drinking.
• Finish: Clean, citrusy, and quick, it leaves you ready for the next sip.

Food pairing:Lock it in with spicy Thai basil stir-fry, Vietnamese-style prawns with lime, or salty snacks like popcorn and chips (the acidity loves anything crispy and salty).

If your usual is New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc, this is a fun sidestep. You still get that bright, citrusy freshness, but with a different kind of zing that feels more linear and laser-focused.

Serve it well chilled and keep it casual, weeknight dinner, last-minute guests, or that “I just want something refreshing” moment. It’s also a sneaky-good bottle to bring to a barbecue because it doesn’t disappear next to spice, smoke, or punchy sauces.

You’ll see “Nottage Hill” on the label, and that’s the cue for Hardys’ easygoing, drink-now style. No homework required, just pour and let the citrus do its thing.

Fun Fact: Hardys is one of Australia’s long-running wine names, founded in the 1800s, so they’ve had plenty of time to figure out how to make a crowd-pleasing Riesling that still tastes like Riesling.
