Classic Clare. Great body, acid, texture. Crisp? clean.

A 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.

At 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.

A classic and generous Clare vintage producing an unmistakable traditional Riesling style from this region.

The patience that was required for this late vintage was well worth it, producing wines of substance and grit, embedded in the usual generosity of the Eastern Watervale sites.

Four 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.
