Riesling
Single Variety
Clare Valley
At release, the wine is a very pale green/straw colour with a slight green tinge to the edge.
The wine displays vibrant lime aromas with hints of lemon and faint floral notes.
This particular Clare Riesling is still tight and restrained with a linear focus to the palate and purity of fruit flavours. There are lashings of fresh lemon/lime juice characters up front and a slate-like minerality across the mid-palate. It is backed up by a persistent and refreshing lime acid finish.
The growing season was characterized as warm and dry for vintage 2018, the only year in recent times warmer was 2016, which produced some excellent, award-winning wines. One of the great things about this vintage, though, was that we avoided any major heatwaves during vintage which can be very damaging and so to that end, vintage was relatively calm and controlled. Overall, our winemaking team are very excited about the quality of the wines from this vintage. In terms of the white varieties, these wines are highly aromatic with very pure and distinct varietal characters.
Crafted for immediate enjoyment but will cellar over a long term under ideal conditions.
