- This hand-crafted wine shows poise, elegance, and character. Delicate aromas of lemons and limes carry through onto the palate. The palate shows a great balance between citrus fruit and the hallmark acidity of the 2018 vintage and leads to a delicious and mouthwatering finish. Benchmark Clare Valley Riesling is bone dry and poised, with characteristic lime and pepper flavours that add complexity to the fine and lifted mineral core.
- Awards Top 100, Wine Merchant, 2022
The fruit was hand-picked during the latter part of February and immediately chilled for 24 hours before whole bunch pressing. After approximately 48 hours, the juice was completely racked off its solids and fermented. The fermentation process took place without lees agitation or stirring, and once fermentation was complete, the wine was racked off its lees. Oxygen was not purposely introduced at any stage, as the wine was made as reductively as possible.

| Winery | Located in the prestigious Watervale subregion of the Clare Valley, the vineyard itself is over 70 years old, although the Riesling vines were replanted 46 years ago. Situated in the southwest corner of the former La Florita vineyard, the clos Clare vineyard comprises two hectares. The vines are dry-grown, which is facilitated by the clay content of the soil, as it helps to retain the moisture to nourish the vine. The canopy management techniques used in the vineyard differ according to the orientation of the vine: the north-facing vines are exposed to the sun. In contrast, the south-facing vines are protected by the canopy vegetation. |
