Vickery
Watervale Riesling
South Australia, Australia
2017 was a great year for Riesling in the Clare Valley. Named after the acknowledged Master of Riesling in Australia , John Vickery. John’s Wines were awarded a massive 50 Trophies and 400 Gold Medals. I remember his amazing Rieslings he made for Leo Buring in the early 1970s. This wine has Lime juice and scintillating acidity and a nose of musk and Lime. Finishes Dry. Will live for a very long time.

Jun 2nd, 2018Many of the Wine scribes in Australia are spruiking the 2017 vintage in Australia as superlative for Riesling. This Vickery did not disappoint. Aromas of Musk and Lime. The palate is richer than expected with the pronounced Acid one would expect. A long future ahead. On the basis of this I have ordered a mixed dozen of 3 different Rieslings from 2017 made by Jeffrey Grosset from the Clare Valley.
