A classic and fresh Clare riesling: it’s bright and pretty, with lifted lime and Seville orange nose and a whiff of aromatic herbs. It’s dry with a mineral chalkiness and an elegant palate showing savoury dried herb notes alongside the citrus, with fine acidity and ending with an almost chalky apple finish. A lovely wine for ponzu-dressed kingfish sashimi and a cucumber and sesame salad.
