A pale lime green in colour, it has intense aromas of freshly cut lemon and lime with more delicate notes of spring flowers all featuring to draw you in. The palate has intense lemon and lime flavours that reflects the bouquet. It also features grapefruit and a slight touch of cinnamon spice and a touch of fresh acidity to finish.
The 2013 vintage in the Clare Valley was perfect for the production of high quality Riesling. Vintage started a little earlier than normal in February when we felt the fruit had reached its optimum ripeness. The perfect conditions allowed for perfect flavour ripening whilst it was quite dry this enabled the development of the natural fruit acidity. After early morning picking and crushing prior we used only the free run juice for our Riesling. Fermentation was over a couple of weeks – after cold stabilizing/filtering, the wine was bottled to retain all those beautiful fruit flavours and natural grape acidity.
93 Point Rated Australian Wine Showcase Magazine
"Zippy, fresh aromas with flavours of fresh limes and lemons mingling with lovely mineral-like characters on the palate."
International Wine Challenge London
"Flinty mineral notes, lime and lemon pith with palate structure and saline acidity, slightly austere style."
Decanter World Wine Awards
"Fairly rich, herbal and quince-paste nose followed by intense, complex, fresh lime flavours with a touch of spice. Tons of character and fine length, this really works."
