VINTAGE - 2024
VARIETY - 100% Riesling
REGION - Watervale, Clare Valley

Vineyard

This wine comes from premium, dry-grown vineyards in the renowned Watervale subregion of the Clare Valley — long celebrated for producing Australia’s most distinctive Rieslings. The vines are rooted in classic terra rossa soils over limestone, contributing both purity and structure to the wine. The vineyards are hand-pruned and shoot thinned, and the fruit is harvested in the cool of night to capture freshness and vibrancy.

The long, mild 2024 season delivered beautifully concentrated fruit, with pristine natural acidity and lifted aromatics — ideal for a focused, expressive wine.This wine continues a lineage of awarded vintages, shaped by place, season and a consistent, careful hand.

Winemaking

We always say that Riesling is made in the vineyard. So, once the fruit was harvested and in the winery, this wine was gently handled with minimal intervention and precise attention to detail. We included a small percentage of solids into the clarified juice prior to fermentation at 12–14ºC in order to build texture while preserving the freshness and flavour that is the hallmark of Watervale Riesling.

The Wine

Pale and bright in the glass, the 2024 Watervale Riesling shows lifted aromas of citrus blossom, lemongrass, and white florals, layered with lime zest and green apple.

The palate is precise and finely textured, with a core of Meyer lemon and lime supported by bright acidity and a clean, mineral line. This wine is a measured, pure, and quietly expressive reflection of this incredible region.

Drink now for its freshness, or cellar with confidence for many years to come.

“Well made riesling conforming exactly as it should to its terroir.”
