2017 Wines by KT Churinga Watervale Riesling, Clare Valley

Wines by KT are small, lovingly cared for parcels of fruit that have traditional techniques used in their creation. I’m passionate about the township of Watervale 5452 and am working with dry grown, sustainably farmed vineyards in the area. With gentle care from grapegrower to winemaker, working with both organic and biodynamic principles, it’s my intention to produce wines with drinkability and personality.

This dry Riesling shows concentrated punchy stone fruit flavour with succulent and mouthwatering acidity. The hand picked fruit from the 1954 planted Churinga vineyard Riesling, is my ninth release from this special patch of dirt. With lifted citrus spice and juicy fruit flavour, this wine displays all of the concentrated fruit flavour that Watervale is renowned for.

Our hand picking and careful bunch selection from the 2017 vintage has produced great reward. Sealed with a screwcap to ensure integrity of product, you can be confident that this wine will continue to reward you with careful cellaring.
