About The Wine
Wine from the Clare Valley, but not as you know it. White flower Aromatics with beautiful layers of fruit and subtle spice. The grapes were picked by hand in mid February. Crushed and destemmed. They spent around 6 hours on skins. Natural ferment in steel & ceramic amphora for 2 months. Ageing in stainless steel on fine lees for 10 months. Bottled 29/01/2025.
Reviews
“From select parcels in the Gullyview and Parish vineyards. This is a clear, light-reflected, honest and pure example of Clare riesling. Lemon, lime, a little pomelo pith, some bath salt and quartz with talc-like minerals and texture. These things are hallmarks of the variety grown in this region, yet this, too, has a steadfastness, a verve through the finish, indicating a wine of longevity. I look forward to toasting the occasion a decade or two from now."

"This comes from old Gullyview and Grace blocks that were planted over 50 years ago, with an addition of Old Vine Parish Blocks which are over 100 years old. Maturation takes place in steel and ceramic vessels. On lees for a year. Righteous.
Superlatives galore. Texture. Weight. Freshness. Savoury complexity. Floral lift. Citrusy vibrancy. Hazy, green apple interest. It’s all on. A succulent tonic of invigorating energy and delicious, palate-cleansing moreish qualities. Fragrant, frisky, bright, some weight and depth. It has it all. And delivers a layered, and nuanced riesling of wonderful drinkability and charm. So in."
