Mitchell Watervale Riesling 2024

Clare Riesling from 2024 is going to make a lot of people very happy. It looks like we have another stellar vintage. Certainly, the early releases are more than exciting and this is very much in that category. The vines, dry grown, here are over sixty years of age. Near transparent in colour, this is wonderfully pungent. It seems to be dripping lime juice with florals, orange blossoms and lemon curd, with a wet stones backing. Excellent focus, this gives the impression of being layered in early complexity. There is great length and the intensity never waivers. Enjoy this for fifteen to twenty years if you can keep your hands off.
