Petaluma Hanlin Hill Riesling 2025

The Yellow Label Hanlin Hill Riesling has long been one of the Clare Valley’s finest. A very light lemon hue, there are intense aromas on the nose with limes and apples and hints of sea breezes to the fore. Lovely citrus characters abound and there are also touches of stone fruits. The wine has a fine minerally backing. There is exemplary balance here, a bright line of acidity and excellent length. The finish has real persistence. The freshness and energy suggest it will drink beautifully now, but ensuring a few bottles are put away in the cellar for a decade or two will prove rewarding.
