Sweet Mary Riesling, 2021
“Summertime and the drinking is easy. Or think of what you’d love to drink with a fruit tart. The balance of sweetness and acidity is compelling. So good in-fact it will perfectly foil the chilli-heat of spicy dish.”

History
Colonel William Light, founder of Adelaide and first Surveyor-General of South Australia, traversed our estate on 13th December 1837, when exploring the north-east of Adelaide. On this historic occasion, he named our town Lyndoch and the surrounding hills Barossa. The Barossa Colonel Light Monument, a life-size bronze statue of Colonel Light on horseback, and the iconic Barossa Manor commemorate the birthplace of the world-famous Barossa wine region on our estate. Generations of our winemakers have dedicated their work to this grand tradition, embodying our heritage of outstanding winemaking in every bottle.
This wine is named after the sister of Colonel Light, Mary. He formed sweet memories of India and its spices when attending her wedding to the indigo plantation owner George Boyd in Calcutta in March 1805. Light remained in India until November 1806 before returning to Europe.
