clos Clare Watervale Riesling 2017
The clos Clare Watervale Riesling is the made from the Clare Valley's signature variety and this is sourced from clos Clare's Riesling patch, adjoining the historic 'Florita' vineyard in Watervale. The 46-year-old dry grown vines are hand-harvested and taken to The Wilson Vineyard at Polish Hill River, where they are chilled for 24 hours prior to whole bunch pressing and vinification.
This is benchmark Clare Valley Riesling, bone dry with secondary characteristics of lemon meringue pie and honeyed notes starting to appear, adding complexity to the lemon zest and fine mineral core on the palate.
