The 2021 Watervale Riesling has all the hallmarks of a classic Clare Valley Riesling; with fresh cut citrus, lemon grass, yellow peach and white florals on the nose. On the palate, it has a firm acid drive, with an abundance of citrus, white peach, honey dew melons, gooseberries and a fresh lime finish.Where the 2020 Watervale Riesling is rich and powerful, this 2021 Watervale Riesling is totally in line with the cool and excellent season that was 2021. Mineral, cohesive, harmonious, long and complex, this punches way above its weight as a value wine and shows the concentration and succulence of Clare Valley hand in glove with the taut, citrus acidity. Smart plus.

Aromas of apple, sliced pear and lime, as well as a gently spicy and floral thread. The palate has flavors that range from lime to white peach. Very juicy and attractive. Acidity is a feature. Drink or hold.
