2022 Duke’s Magpie Hill Reserve Riesling Porongurup

From: $39.00

2022 Duke’s Magpie Hill Reserve Riesling Porongurup – Duke and Hilde Ranson ended their long search for the perfect property to establish their vineyard as their “retirement”. The first vine was planted on Duke’s 60th birthday, on the 5th August, 1999. When other people think of retirement, Duke and Hilde Ranson started their wine-making careers.

With Duke’s background in Agriculture and a long love affair with wine, it was not altogether a surprise when Duke and Hilde purchased a block in the Riesling belt in the Porongurup.

They decided to plant beautiful Riesling, beloved Cabernet Sauvignon (by Duke) and spicy Shiraz. Ten hectares of vines were planted on the 60 hectare farm. ‘Porongurup Pure’ sheep are agisted on the remaining acreage. The vineyard is situated at the foot of the heritage-listed Porongurup Range and also overlooks the Stirling Range to the north. It is a cool climate region producing soft reds and is a premium region for Riesling.

The entire staff consists of six, with Duke and Hilde included. They are a small, passionate, family orientated crew, who all know the place like the back of their hand.

Duke’s Vineyard is the dream that is now reality – and although retirement is looming, Duke and Hilde remain as enthusiastic about their project as they were on the day they first saw the property.

All of their wine is made from 100% Estate Grown Fruit. Duke’s emphasis is on producing the finest quality of wines, at very affordable prices. Everyone has the right to enjoy good wine. This is reflected in their motto; “…because life’s too short to drink bad wine!”.

Another beautiful wine after a long line of other wonderful Duke’s rieslings. Lovely fruit/acid balance. Crisp, dry, clean, lime and citrus blossom. Cellar for 25 years.
