Hardys HRB Clare Valley Tasmania Riesling 2023 is a brilliant showcase of regional synergy, drawing from the finest vineyards in both Clare Valley and Tasmania. Continuing Thomas Hardy’s pioneering vision since 1865 of blending fruit from different regions to elevate complexity and balance, this vintage combines Clare’s tight lemon-lime minerality with Tasmania’s delicate stone fruit and floral lift. A pale straw hue with green highlights introduces aromas of orange blossom, lemon zest, white peach, and jasmine, all grounded by a subtle mineral streak.

On the palate, this Riesling is a study in elegance and vibrancy. Dense layers of fresh citrus and white stone fruit flow seamlessly with finely tuned acidity, delivering a long, persistent finish with pristine mineral precision. Rated 92 Points and awarded a Silver Medal by Mike Bennie (Halliday Wine Companion), this vintage follows in the footsteps of its predecessor, which earned 95 Points and a Gold Medal from Ned Goodwin. Crafted by a 5 Red Star Winery, this is a wine that reflects both legacy and refinement.

An exceptional match for grilled prawns, Thai green curry, oysters with citrus mignonette, or goat cheese tarts, its versatility makes it a must-have for lovers of finely structured, food-friendly whites. With its expressive aromatics, crisp acid line, and cool-climate clarity, this HRB Riesling embodies the best of both southern Australian terroirs.
