No where to hide…

Of all the many grape varieties, Riesling is the most transparent expression of a vineyard site.  We have long loved the more crystalline expressions of Clare Valley Riesling, which embrace the exquisite risk inherent in delicacy and fragility. Never a wine about winemaker ego, or manhandling in the winery, just purity…

Please handle gently.

Composition

Each individual pick from both vineyards was settled naturally post press, with the free-run cool fermented in stainless steel, and 4% light pressings included after a wild fermentation. With high natural acids present, and coupled with relatively low Baumés, each parcel was aged upon fine lees for 5 months, and the blend exhibits beautifully delicate and fine aromas, lavender and lime leaf, lemon pith, bath salts and mineral underlying. Classic Clare citrus notes are complimented by the mouth-watering chalky and mineral texture on the palate, finishing with a fine and taut acid line.

Consumption

All of the dumplings! Who doesn't love dumplings? Think prawn har gow for brunch after a big night out. Also suited to cellar for up to 10 years for a more complex and intriguing Riesling expression.
