🍷 Appearance
Very pale straw with green highlights. Brilliant and crystalline, showcasing purity and precision typical of this iconic site.

👃 Aromas
Highly perfumed and intense, with lime juice, citrus peel and lemongrass leaping from the glass.
Subtle notes of white flowers, talc, spice and a faint mineral edge add complexity and finesse.

👅 Palate
Taut, powerful and incredibly focused, delivering pure lime, lemon and citrus pith flavours.
An almost essence-like intensity drives the palate, balanced by seamless structure and precision.

🍈 Texture & Finish
Fine, linear and tightly coiled with piercing natural acidity.
The finish is long, dry and mineral, with citrus and stony notes persisting with remarkable length and clarity.

🍇 Overall Style
A benchmark Clare Valley Riesling—intense, structured and built for long-term ageing.
More restrained in youth, but with incredible depth, purity and a reputation for evolving beautifully over decades.

🍽️ Food Pairing
Perfect with fresh oysters, sashimi, grilled prawns or spicy Asian dishes. Also excellent with goat’s cheese and citrus-driven cuisine.

A world-class Riesling that delivers power, precision and serious cellaring potential.
