Nov 1st, 2014A tipping point vintage in the Clare Valley and for some producers a year of Olympic proportions. This wine combines tradition and transformation. I am grateful that I had the opportunity to taste it again, 12 years later.

May 30th, 2024At the time, 2015 was considered the vintage of the decade in the Clare Valley, delivering favourable conditions for all varieties. This wine feels buoyant, still showing a spring in its step, loaded with positive energy.

May 3rd, 2020Four year old Riesling from Australia. Wet stone, clean, crisp, great acidity and minerality; little herbaceous on the back end with an almond dry long finish. Lovely wine, wish I could get my hands on a few more bottles.
