A completely engaging example of Riesling from this exceptional vineyard within the Clare Valley. From the first take on the nose, the aromas of lemon zest and spice, with a subtle pettiness, are evident. The palate then really delivers with tremendous intensity, and a lovely fine, almost delicate acid that sustains it through to a very long finish. This is the style of wine that people should be drinking a hell of a lot more of. Perfect for summer, and of course, it has the pedigree to cellar for a long period.
