Aromatics of lime juice and talc/musk. A classic Watervale Riesling from the Clare Valley. On the palate those same limey flavours with a textural waxiness. Made by John Vickery who is regarded as the master of Australian Riesling. See my previous notes about John here on Delectable and his work with Leo Buring back in the 1970’s. Crazy good value - I paid $18 back in 2019. — 7 days ago

Wonderful with Thanksgiving dinner! Thanks to the winemaker Alex Mackenzie for going through the trouble of shipping it to me through US customs. — 8 years ago

This little beauty was supposed to be held for much longer but due to a poor LUX closure we tucked in earlier than expected and it didn’t disappoint.
Silky smooth, big tropical fruits, the acid supports the 100+gms of RS. — 8 years ago

Really lovely. Full of zest and life. Held a beautiful profile in the palate for absolutely ages (even when we had finished dinner and the bottle and while watching Collingwood. And if there's anything to put a bad taste in your mouth it would be Collingwood Football Club).
I still believe, for my palate, that Watervale/Springvale Grosset Rieslings drink better young, while the Polish Hills are better with age. — 3 years ago

Super solid. Would have guessed Watervale blind. Fresh lime acidity, a whiff of petrol fumes and honeysuckle — 7 years ago

Very citrussy on nose and palate. An old school Clare Valley Riesling with chalky, taut, acidic notes even at 8 years of age. Quite austere still. Yet to flesh out on the mid palate. Not sure this will happen. My only bottle. — a year ago

Apricot and citrus on the nose. Slightly sweet but well balanced with acidity. Reminded me of a not quite ripe apricot, just with lots more complexity! Lovely. — 5 years ago

Wow, acid is here and that's for sure. Utterly refreshing, peppery lime nose. Grapefruit, gave, bitter lime but all very balanced. I could drink a bucket. — 7 years ago

A classic from the Horrocks library in Clare Valley. The Watervale site proving its strength for the Italian variety not just Riesling. — 8 years ago
