Very restrained, light colour for its age, and the bouquet is likewise reserved and fresh and shows less development than the same maker's Clare Valley reserve. A lovely array of lemon, dried herb and dried floral aromas, very typical of the region, and the wine is ageing slowly, which bodes well for its future. The palate is refined and terrifically intense, compact and lingering, with great harmony, line and length. A ripping riesling with a big future. 02 JAN 2022 Drink 2022–2033 AUD 32.00 BOTTLE (STORE)

Pale straw with some golden hues beginning to come through, silver rims. Fresh, clean and delicate with lemon pith and minerality. Very subtle developed characters of shortbread and pastry crust. Fresh citrus of lemon zest and grapefruit, balanced by brioche and crème Catalan. Bouncy, salivating acid and slight phenolic characters provide good structure and a long, lingering finish.
Made to age, this Riesling will last in the cellar for 20+ years. Matches with sesame chicken salad with ginger-lime dressing.
