The 2020 vintage saw the continuing dry conditions experienced over the previous two years. With yields down 30% - 70% in most vineyards and with warm to hot conditions forecast mid vintage most of the fruit was harvested early to capture good natural acidity. The resulting Rieslings have lovely perfume, natural acidity and extremely delicate fruit flavours. This wine was produced from 100% clean racked free run juice, no pressings, fermented at low temperatures to capture the delicate fruit flavours. Fermented completely dry less than 2 GRS. No added acid. The Clare Valley was spared the terrible bushfires that devastated the Adelaide Hills and Kangaroo Island and while there was some smoke drift to the north of South Australia the Clare Valley had no smoke taint impact on the vineyards.

The fruit for this wine was sourced from the Grace family vineyard. A Watervale block well known in the Clare Valley for producing high grade fruit.

Classic Clare Riesling showing all the hallmarks of the famous Watervale sub region of Clare Valley. Citrus, lemon rind, fresh natural acidity. Clean free run juice, no pressings, fermented at low temps to retain freshness, fermented dry.

Tight lemon, lime with a light tropical sherbet flavour. Quite a layered mid palate. Lovely line of lively natural acidity gives the persistence and length. Beautifully balanced Riesling, a very precise example of Watervale fruit.
