Low Boi Riesling 2024
Low Boi Riesling 2024
Guy@Lowboi: We are very fortunate to have a parcel of Riesling here, dry grown and planted in 1985 on the elevated Springviews Vineyard. The ancient granitic geology of the site, southern aspect and cooling influence during the growing season of the Southern ocean contributes to the energetic, mineral and lifted nature of the Springviews Riesling.
Tasting Notes
The wine is aromatic and fruit lifted but with classic bath salt minerality we have come to know from this site. Will reward cellaring.
Plaudits
This has delicacy as its charter. A light, gently chalky white wine with fine, feathery mineral notes, lime-lemonade, faint ginger, green apple and green melon notes between the perfume and palate. Fine boned as it is, there's serious texture here despite the levity. It does a lot, in a lithe frame. And it is delicious. 95 Points. James Halliday

About Winery
About Winery
To say the Lowboi website is minimalist is somewhat of an understatement.
They sell 3 types of wine (with very little descriptions or tasting notes) in the backdrop of a relatively obscure landscape painting, and solitary phone number.
Luckily, if you call the number, you will (hopefully) get a hold of Guy Lyons, who is also the head winemaker at the highly revered -and awarded – Forest Hill in the Great Southern. Lowboi is Guy’s side project, where he makes small-batch Riesling, Chardonnay, and Grüner Veltliner.
James Halliday.
In '17, winemaker Guy Lyons (Forest Hill) and his wife, Nicola, bought the Springviews vineyard on the south side of the dramatically beautiful Porongurup range in Great Southern. The soils are layered laterite gravels with loam and weathered granite. Planted on the south-facing slope are riesling and Gingin clone chardonnay. Their Gruner Veltliner comes from the Lyons family farm in Mount Barker. The ‘Lowboi’ name originates from the farm Guy's mother grew up on in the Great Southern shire of Tambellup.
