The first thing that struck us was the satisfying complexity of the wine.
None of us are natively white wine drinkers but we were drawn to the intense and floral palate.
The full-bodied colour of the wine was also striking, not pale white and not deeply golden, but somewhere in between which played a role in drawing us towards this drop.
Riesling would have to be one of Clare Valley’s ultimate strengths with its elevation and climate and this is a perfect example thereof.
Hear us taste it and share the special codeword for you to have five votes instead of one when you enter the competition to win some. HINT: The special codeword is not the one printed below, it only exists in the audio of the program. The tasting starts about 6 minutes in.
