Specifications:
6 pack / Unit price per bottle: $25.00
Region: Clare Valley SA
Varieties: Riesling
Vintage: 2016
Colour: Brilliant pale gold
Nose: Pristine aromas of lime lemon and grapefruit dominate initially with some gentle floral notes kicking in behind these. Maybe just a suggestion of wet slate/stones too. Very typical and very attractive
Palate: Fresh crisp and dry as it always is upon release. The palate is chockful of the citrus characters aforementioned well balanced by the zingy acid that provides much of the drive to the finish. Finishes clean and dry with just a hint of textural grip
Alcohol: 11.5%
Food: Any seafood or white meat (of course) but it does work admirably with gruyere cheese too

Very light straw hue and a restrained talcy aroma which has a juiciness that is beguiling. Lemony acidity. Intense delicate finely crafted and tightly-coiled this is a lovely restrained riesling of real line and length. And aging potential. Gorgeous.

Traditional perhaps but deliciously so with a joyous display of lime lemon and a faint touch of passionfruit on the palate balanced and lengthened by crisp acidity on the finish.
