Our RC Riesling is only made in the years when we believe we can produce a truely exceptional wine with the capacity to age gracefully and which will demonstrate the pristine line and length of an outstanding Riesling. This limited edition wine was sourced from our Cellar Door block on the Estate and made with only the purest free run juice. Mike Bennie 2024 - Halliday Wine CompanionAn intense and somewhat concentrated expression of riesling with distinct green apple, gingery spice, preserved lemon and ricochets of brine and sea spray mineral character in the mix. Exceptional persistence of flavour with tart lime and zingy grapefruit coupled to saline elements, lingering long after each sip. Tightly coiled and very racy; a precise and energetic white with tension at its core. 95 / 100 Tony Love - 2024 - Advertiser A limited-edition release pointing to the vintage being assessed by the producer as of exceptional quality. Sourced from a block adjacent to the winery’s cellar door, whole bunch pressed for a focus on free-run juice. This has all the hallmarks of a finessed expression of Clare Valley’s (Watervale specifically) icon white variety, aromas of not only lime and orchard florals, but also minerally rock dust and chalk, which thread evenly through the palate. More lemon notes also appear once the palate engages. Tight, assured and precisely cut, if ever there was a Riesling you can call powerful, yet still elegant to sip on its own, here you have it. A wine that will age finely for a decade and more. 95/100 Ray Jordan- Wine Pilot www.winepilot.comA finer and more delicate style to the Estate riesling. But wow, there’s plenty of power and sustain through the palate as it drives through to a long finish. There’s a real energy evident as the zingy acidity adds lift, while the distinct minerally slaty characters *bring that subtle degree of tension into play. Excellent wine. 96/100 Ken Gargett - www.winepilot.com The flagship Riesling from this Clare Valley team, just 175 dozen made, hailing from the Watervale sub-region. Made only in exceptional years – and 2024 is looking very much like just that – it is a near transparent straw in colour, with green flecks. Taut, tight, poised, refined and restrained, this is finely balanced with good concentration and a real chalky backing. Limes and lemons to the fore here, with hints of jasmine and wet stones. The wine has bright, juicy acidity, a laser-like focus and serious length. A fifteen year proposition, and likely to hang on for many more. Superb example of a cracking Clare Riesling. 95.
