Does the Clare Valley proud year after year. Admirable consistency again in 2023 from this vineyard high in the Clare hills, delivering an attractive purity of Riesling flavour and brisk acidity which will suit the cellar. Arresting scent of citrus blossom, lemon drop, lime zest and talc . . . very Clare. A zesty fresh, juicy, citrussy core of lime punctuated in aromatic jasmine notes and a touch of ginger and Thai basil. A refined, subtle texture made bright by some zippy acidity, just right for early drinking if that is desired. Length is impressive.
