Two Hands
The Wolf Clare Valley Riesling
Clare Valley, Mount Lofty Ranges, South Australia, Australia
Second try in a short while. One of my favourite aussie wine ever, so far. My previous notes still stand. This is an exciting wine and wine style. The chalkiness of the mouthfeel and the delicious fresh lemon juice touches. Wow, I will even bump that prior 90 note a notch. That's a banger right there.

Nov 2nd, 2024Riesling from down under (Clare valley) with a tiny bit of age on it. Why not?
The wine is sporting a bright gold color which is not usual in dry Riesling examples I'm used to.
The nose is typical with lemon zest and petroly notes, some flowery touches too and a tiny vanilla thing. The palate is fresh, very long and acid driven but as well a bit more muscular, wide and thick than the usual German dry Riesling examples I'm used to. The mid palate is wide and there is almost a tannic thing with a vanilla note that develops over the finish. Lemony notes complement that vanilla tune and make up for a long, joyful and structured wine. Good stuff and more complex than what I expected. Thumbs up 2 hands 😆
