'The 2024 vintage Clare rieslings stood apart from the 2023 and 2022 bottlings
for their purity and precision, capturing the region's hallmark
freshness with a delicate structure and electric drive, which was
highlighted across the two main subregions where they are made:
Watervale and Polish Hill River'. James Suckling.com.
Appearance
Straw.
Aroma
Lifted, vibrant aroma of lemon blossom and balm with a calming, fragrant trace of white florals.
Palate
Attractive, fleshy palate of ‘Bickfords’ lime cordial and freshly squeezed lemon juice complimented by hints of tangerine peel and orange blossom honey that seamlessly meld with a funky mid palate complexity including traces of subtle, spicy stem ginger, river stone and a slight kerosene edge. The cautious inclusion of some drying phenolics adds a mouth filling textural element and along with the crisp, minerally natural acidity has given a unique and distinctive European twist whilst also providing a lingering, zesty grapefruit pithiness on the finish.
Food Matching
Well suited to pan fried fish particularly King George whiting, whole baked snapper or equally at home with yum cha or sushi.
