Just want to add to Michael's suggestions (which were excellent and comprehensive as to be expected.. :) : Bay of Fires Riesling from Tasmania. I concur on his suggestion of Mount Langi as well, I consider it to be the most typical style of Syrah from Grampians

Hi Geoff,

Here are a few producers:

Riesling from Tasmania:

-Pressing Matters (Coal River Valley: bone dry (R0) -dry (R9) -medium sweet (R69) -sweet (R139) Each cuvee has a number which indicates the approximate level of RS.

-Bream Creek (Southeast Coast)

-Freycinet (East Coast)

-Pipers Brook Vineyard

-Stefano Lubiana (Derwent Valley)

-Tamar Ridge (Tamar Valley)

-Pooley (Coal River Valley)

Syrah in Grampians: (one of the prettiest wine region I've seen by the way)

-Mount Langi Ghiran (probably the most savory and spicy of the list; some granite can be found in the vineyard which is pretty rare in Australia)

-Clayfield

-Best's Great Western (Great Western sub-region; one of the most historical winery in Australia, also very famous for the Old Vine Pinot Meunier, oldest in the world? First planted in 1868!)

-Seppelt (another historical producer since 1851)
