The late John Vickery was respected, among many other achievements, for converting us from corks to screwtops. But it’s the wines he made post retirement that are his finest legacy. — Max Allen
John Vickery, the acknowledged old master of Riesling in Australia, had an illustrious career spanning nearly sixty years culminating in the extraordinary awards tally of more than fifty trophies and over four hundred gold medals. The Vickery Rieslings are more than just a legacy for John’s stellar career; it is the preservation of his special winemaking methods and his extraordinary knowledge of this noblest grape variety, that will be passed on for generations to come for the benefit of all lovers of classic Australian Riesling.
John Vickery
“He’s in the same league as Max Schubert and other great winemakers, most of whom are known for their reds.”
— Jeffrey Grosset
