Huon Hooke, The Real Review "This wine is lively, tense and crisply acid on the palate.....Bright light-mid yellow colour with a similarly forward-developed bouquet, showing lime, quince-paste, apricot aromas and subtle hints of toast."

Robert Parker "This is routinely a smart wine—austere and lean on release but with brilliant poise and line. This cooler-vintage 2021 Angevin Riesling makes not exception to that rule, with notes of lemon oil, Granny Smith apples, brine and fleshy citrus. Very good indeed." (2021 vintage)

Erin Larkin, Halliday Wine Companion "A lovely wine; chalky, mineral, saline...It's gratifying tasting wines that give you more as you pay more ... it's sort of how we hope it would be (and not the other way around!). This has all the line and austerity of the Three Lions Riesling, but with additional layers of plump fruit and cushioned phenolics. It remains true to it regional roots, taut and coiled, but it also begins to unfurl and open as it stays in the mouth." (2021 vintage)

Gabrielle Poy, The Real Review "..A delicious dry riesling that will age well....Honey and lime leaf aromas lead into a racy dry palate. There's lots of flesh on the bones providing great flavours and carry. This is alive and enticing on the palate, with rapier-like acidity and great intensity.(2021 vintage)

Erin Larkin, Halliday Wine Companion "Quite an astoundingly beautiful and pure wine of poise, line and length." (2020 vintage)

Sam Kim "It's exquisitely styled, showing Granny Smith apple, lime cordial and white flesh nectarine notes on the nose, leading to a concentrated palate that delivers outstanding fruit purity and poise. Refined and stylish with a graceful future ahead." (2020 vintage)

James Suckling "This has striking purity and such fresh citrus-fruit aromas, as well as some savory, mineral notes. The palate is sleekly driven by brisk acidity that carries fresh lime-juice flavor. Bang! Drink now." (2020 vintage)

James Halliday "From 40+yo vines, machine-harvested, fermented with cultured yeast." (2019 vintage)

Huon Hooke, The Real Review "An excellent wine....It's not too dry, but has a faint lick of sweetness at the core.Light, bright yellow colour, with a lifted mandarin, gardenia and honey fragrance, positively Germanic. A lovely array of fresh and dried flowers. The palate is delicate and intense at the same moment; refined in its texture and long, with crystalline purity and refreshing properties that linger. " (2019 vintage)

James Suckling "This is a very refined style that has expressively fresh, lime and wet-stone aromas. The palate delivers a concentrated core of fresh, lime and peach flavors. So polished and so beautifully honed at the finish." (2019 vintage)

Toni Paterson "A highly engaging aroma of spring blossoms and candied lemon peel. Lemon juice flavours on the palate with faint hints of cumquat. A tight, citrusy style.'

Winemaker "100% Riesling grapes from our Wyjup Vineyard. Ashen straw colour. The palate is piercingly focused, with an intense citrus-flavoured core filling the mid-palate and a beautifully structured, wet pebble minerality. The abundant natural acidity provides the backbone for elegant fruit flavours. A very long, clean finish. Cellaring potential of 10 - 14 years."

Western Australian winery, Plantagenent is acclaimed internationally for its consistently highly-awarded, quality wines produced from its five vineyards located in the cool climate region of the Great Southern. It is known for its highly aromatic riesling, tangy citrus-tinged chardonnay, exceptional Rhône-style shiraz and suberb cabernet sauvignon. The five estate vineyards are overseen by Chief Viticulturist Jordan Ellis whose philosophy is sustainability and remaining true to the terroir of the region.

The Real Review "Plantegent is a pioneer of the Great Southern region of Western Australia with vineyards first planted in 1986 and the first commercial winery established in the region. Celebrated for its rich heritage, the winery is owned the Lionel Samson family, the oldest family owned business in Western Australia established in Fremantle in 1829. Plantaganet has five vineyards in the Mount Barker sub region each with the unique characteristics, ancient soils and a cool maritime climate cretaing expressive wines of provenance, quality & prestige. "

James Halliday, Halliday Australian Wine Companion "Plantagenet has honed its flagship varieties into a distinct Great Southern wine style; a depth of lively flavour, seamless elegance and natural purity"

The Great Southern is emerging as a wine region of international significance and reputation. It is the largest wine growing region in Australia and is the second largest producer of grapes in Western Australia. It is a landscape of forested cliffs and resplendent mountain ranges, grazing pastures and towns steeped in history. The regional climate ranges from the coastal, maritime subregions of Albany and Denmark to the inland, continental subregions of Mount Barker, Porongurup and Frankland River. The predominant soils are similar to those of the Margaret River region - either lateritic gravelly sandy loams (marri country) or sandy loams deriving directly from granite and gneissic bedrocks. Near perfect conditions for grape growing has lured some of the most creative and talented winemakers to call this land their home and become part of its ancient story.

The region is known for commitment to be sustainable, and organic, and is attracting some of Australia’s best winemakers. In 2023 the region dominated the Halliday Wine Companion Awards with its Top Rated 2023 Rieslings winning 10 of the top 40 awards. Other varietals from the region also received exceptional ratings of 97, 96 & 95 points.

Riesling is considered one of the world's greatest white wine varieties. Aromatic and fresh Riesling is often caught between the purity of its German iterations to the complexity of its Alsatian counterparts. But, existing worldwide in range of styles from dry to sweet, it frequently surpasses glib pronouncements at all levels.
