The late John Vickery was acknowledged as one of the masters of Australian Riesling and a driving force behind the evolution of this ever-popular varietal. In an illustrious career spanning over fifty years, he oversaw Riesling at Leo Buring in the 1960's and 70's, then at Richmond Grove in the 1990's and 2000's. Vickery's own label was established in 2014, with a pair of Rieslings from Watervale (Clare Valley) and Eden Valley (Barossa). Not surprisingly, these quickly established a reputation as among the finest made in Australia. The 2025 Vickery Watervale Riesling is another brilliant Clare Valley Riesling from a standout vintage in Clare Valley. The nose is bursting with aromas of apple, citrus and blossom, with a subtle touch of fennel spice and nectarine. The flavour-packed palate is bright and zesty, with beautifully balanced natural acid, full ripeness and intense flavours of stone fruit and lemon curd. Another delicious Watervale Riesling from Vickery.
