- Floral aromas of pink grapefruit, lime, and a lift of tropical guava lead to a generous yet precise palate with a light, creamy texture and a lively, mineral finish. Notes of lime cordial, pink grapefruit, lemon rind, and floral notes. This is a powerful and concentrated wine with a great depth of flavour. Its silky acid profile gives focus, line, and length.
The grapes were harvested in the cool of the night to preserve the flavours in the fruit. The fruit was immediately pressed without skin contact, and after cold settling, the juice was racked. Fermentation occurred with a proportion of the lighter 'fluffy' lees and selected yeasts at 14 to 16°C, lasting two to three weeks. A small parcel was cool fermented in aged French oak barrels to enhance the texture of the wine.
Floral aromas of pink grapefruit and lime and a lift of tropical guava lead to a generous yet precise palate with a light, creamy texture, stone fruits and a lively, mineral finish.

| Winery | The Clare Valley is a series of undulating hills within the higher ranges of the grape-growing area. Vine aspect and row orientation is as critical as soil type in terms of the suitability of a vineyard site for a particular variety. Distinct parcels of fruit are selected to make wines that reflect the vineyard from which the grapes are grown. This Riesling was sourced from the McKay vineyard in Watervale. South or east-facing slopes are best suited for Riesling as they are shielded from the hot northerly winds that can occur during summer and receive the cooler morning sun. The soil in the McKay vineyard is clay over limestone, which is free-draining. The Clare Valley climate is continental, with a high diurnal temperature difference with clear skies. The cool nights lead to preserving crisp natural acidity and delicate flavours. |
