Details
Now this is powerful Riesling! The beautiful southern end of WA makes damn delicious Riesling, and this powerhouse white showcases the best of the West. It's a grippy thing, too, with preserved lemon freshness and grapefruit really driving it on and on, the whole wine bristling with delicious fruit power and crispness. It's light bodied, but powerful, with a wonderous intensity that is just awesome!
We love a rising star here at Good Pair Days, and Byron & Harold definitely fit the bill when it comes to rapid and blazing ascendency. This WA winery has already made some serious waves on the scene, with their earliest vintages back in 2015 picking up accolades, awards, and dedicated fans right across the region and beyond. While there’s doubtlessly been no shortage of blood, sweat, mud, and tears since then, founders Paul Byron and Harold Dunning have made the whole thing look impressively easy, continuing to produce fantastic and characterful wines that really do live up to the hype. Focusing exclusively on the coolest of cool climate regions, primarily in and around Margaret River, Byron & Harold work with fruit that exudes the utmost elegance, coupled with the refreshing, laid-back drinkability we all love to settle down with at the end of the day. With a superb portfolio of delicious wines, each with a character and flavour profile as memorable as their names, Byron & Harold’s star continues to rise… and we’ll drink to that!

Wine region
Great Southern, Australia
Get ready to swirl, sniff, and sip your way through Western Australia's largest wine region - the Great Southern! Stretching from the coastal town of Albany to the scenic hamlet of Denmark to the south, this vast region is known for its world-class wine. Within the Great Southern, you will find five sub-regions, with Frankland River and Mount Barker being arguably the most noteworthy. But the Great Southern isn't just about the grapes - the area's family-owned wineries are passionate about their craft, using traditional techniques and the region's mineral-rich soils to create wine bursting with flavour. It is hard to pigeonhole the region in terms of grape varieties, Riesling does particularly well here as does Pinot Noir and Shiraz amongst others. So grab your corkscrew and get ready to explore the Great Southern - the ultimate destination for wine lovers!
