An elegant, crisp and dry Riesling from Clare Valley, arguably Australia’s best region for this variety.

Ortus Wines prides itself in making wines reflecting their story of adventure and passion. Built from a small land allotment in the heart of Barossa Valley over 150 years ago, Ortus Wines today creates exceptional small volume wines from several of the premium wine regions in South Australia, known to many as the heart of the Australian wine industry.

Clare Valley is certainly one such region and this Single Vineyard bottle surely delivers everything you’d expect from Australia’s home of Riesling – and more.

The wine has a brilliant pale straw colour showing floral and citrus aromas of jasmine and lime.

On the palate it offers a delicate minerality with juicy lemon ahead of a creamy and crisp mouth-filling finish.

A great drink now but will just become better with careful cellaring for 3-5 years.

Pair with oysters and seafood, or even spicy Thai food.

Brand

Ortus

By pure coincidence, the last of the Bittner name (meaning barrel maker) was lost in marriage when – drumroll please – the last (female) Bittner was married in the early 1900s… to none other than a Cooper. Over fifteen years, Julie and Paige have built their own legacy – Ortus. Growing fruit from their own McLaren Vale vineyards, Julie and Paige work side by side through every step in creating Ortus Shiraz – from the vineyard to the bottle, and sharing the wine with you. It may be in their blood, but from no money and no prospects, they have worked hard and lived true to the Bittner family crest’s motto: Nothing without labour. Today, Ortus are in the process of taking another step, by constructing a regional home to become the Ortus base. We can’t wait to host you in a warm and friendly space where we can connect with wine lovers directly – on our own turf!
