Vickery Wines
The label of John Vickery, the legendary "godfather of Australian Riesling," celebrating a lifetime devoted to the variety.
John Vickery is, quite simply, one of the most important figures in Australian Riesling. Over a career spanning more than half a century — much of it at Leasingham — he set the template for the bone-dry, long-lived Clare and Eden Valley style that the country is now famous for.
Vickery Wines honours that legacy with precise, classically built Rieslings from prized Watervale and Eden Valley sites, made in partnership with a new generation of winemakers. They are textbook examples of the style: tight, citrusy and built to age for decades.
For anyone interested in the story of Australian Riesling, these wines are essential drinking — the work of the man who helped write the rules.
