Tasting Notes
A beautifully expressive Clare Valley Riesling from one of Australia's most respected producers. The 2023 McKays Single Vineyard Riesling opens with lifted floral aromas of pink grapefruit, lime zest and a hint of tropical guava. The palate is focused, vibrant and finely textured, with flavours of lime cordial, lemon rind and subtle minerality. Creamy on the mid-palate with a crisp, long finish, this vintage delivers remarkable purity and balance.
This is a concentrated and powerful Riesling with a precise acid profile that enhances structure, line, and length. Perfect for those seeking a dry yet flavour-packed white wine with ageing potential.
Food Pairing
Pairs beautifully with shellfish, grilled prawns, Thai dishes, or fresh goat's cheese.

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. |
