The 2023 Watervale Riesling is supple and spicy and very fine, with an aspirin-like acid line that underpins the fleshy citrus fruit. The wine is utterly pristine in its construction and populated by fruit that is crystal clear and perfectly eloquent of its Clare Valley roots. 12% alcohol, sealed under screw cap.

Delicate but highly crowd-pleasing aromas of orange and lime sorbet, nectarine and florals wafts from the glass. It's a light, dry, crisp wine that offers a punchy freshness and fruity appeal but could gain honeyed complexity with a few more years in bottle.

The milestone of 50 consecutive vintages of this wine comes about with this release; a golden anniversary for a significant Australian wine. This release is attractive for its raciness and zesty, citrus-driven feel. Scents of orange blossom, preserved lime, ginger and blackcurrant. The palate a melange of various citrus, orangey almost with squeezes of lemon and lime, some talc-like elements and a tightly wound, pink grapefruit juice finish. Very pleasurable here, even and flows well, perhaps a touch diffuse in fruit character but a passable thing in a distinct, vigorous and refreshing white wine.
