30 Years Old Vine
2024 had excellent spring rains and perfect ripening temperatures. Cooler in early summer and some heat in late February allowed a long and cool ripening period. This meant the natural acid retention and flavour profile was high.
Riesling is made in the vineyard. The fruit is harvested at optimum flavour and acid balance. The grapes are in the winery and crushed off skins within 1 hour of picking to ensure the juice if fresh, clean and has pure fruit expression and profile. Only free run juice is used for this product. Settled in tank and fermented long and cool. Once dry, the wine is racked, stabilized and filtered prior to bottling.
Watervale Riesling is known worldwide for its intensity and elegance. This wine displays the classic notes of lime, floral and has a pure, mineral finish that makes the wine mouth-watering. Clean, crisp and energetic acid encases this wine. A beautiful expression of what Clare Valley does best.
