The first ever Polish Hill River Riesling from the Vickery label, having for the previous 11 years released a Watervale sub-regional version from the Clare Valley (and another from the Eden Valley). This was sourced from a single site of 2004 plantings by the Paulett family and exudes all the character expected from the revered Riesling district. Pale with a light greenish tinge, overtly aromatic with fragrant white blossom and a faint mint-meets-licorice spice. Roast fennel bulb as well, before we see a more familiar set of varietal vibes in the palate: lemon, a subtle spearmint, with minerally and pithy acidity in total control. Supremely balanced, finessed and finely textured. It’s delicious.
