Here is redundant proof of why Clare is one of Australia’s great Riesling regions. This is result of hand selection of the best parcels of fruit. Intense lemony lime for floral overtones on the nose. There is tension here on the palate which has a distinctive slaty, wet pebble character extending through to the finish. A finish that is slightly chalky to keep it tidy. There is a distinct sense of place here from this famous Clare Valley winery and vineyard.
