Basileus Clare Riesling 2023

Free run juice used here with a temperature controlled fermentation and the colour is a pale lemon with green flecks. This is very much from the expressive end of the Clare Riesling spectrum. Lovely limey aromatics with spices and grapefruit pith notes, along with hints of river stones and lemon butter. There is bright acidity evident here and excellent length. This is a fresh and attractive Riesling with considerable flavour and good persistence. Like this a lot. A ten year proposition, but it will drink well at any time over that period.
