2016 The Wilson Vineyard DJW Riesling, Clare Valley
A$22.05
Polish Hill River riesling combining generosity with freshness and clear cut lime and extreme length; lime and lemon positively sizzle on the palate in a sherbet-like display of fruit. The acidity there, but not obvious. The aftertaste is lingers on.

From a small single block (3500 vines) in the Polish Hill River vineyard planted in '77 that immediately stood apart from the remainder, the mid-palate with generosity ex the large bunches and berries, morphing to power on the finish and aftertaste.
