Tasting Notes:

Pale green/straw in appearance with typical Clare Valley Riesling characters on show, including citrus, talc and gentle floral notes. The palate is fresh, dry and mouth filling - the well balanced acidity ensuring a crisp, dry finish. While this Clare Valley Riesling is delicious served well chilled as a refreshing summer drink, it is also great food wine when served with something like a pan fried snapper fillet.

Technical:

The 2017 vintage was shaped by a cool, wet winter and spring with above average rainfall. Budburst was later than the “recent normal” due to the cooler conditions in September and as a consequence harvest was also a little late – we commenced vintage on March 3rd. Leading up to harvest January and February were both quite mild with no extended periods of heat and little rain. The 20mm we did receive on 20th January finished the vineyards off nicely. The 2017 vintage will be remembered as one of the top Riesling vintages since the turn of the century along with 2002, 2005, 2012 & 2014.

The grapes for this wine were both machine and hand harvested, then transported to the winery, crushed, chilled and pressed as soon as possible prior to the juice being clarified by cold settling. It was then inoculated with a neutral, pure yeast culture and fermentation carried out in stainless steel temperature controlled tanks for on average 25-30 days. The wine was stabilised, blended and then filtered prior to bottling in July 2017.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Paddy from Fabulous Riesling Great depth of flavour matching any style of summer lunch. The fruit is perfect, full of flavour and refreshing. Glad we have gone back to trying Riesling again.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Kiwiroo from Really good! I have been buying Neil Pike's Clare Hills Valley Riesling for awhile and we love it. We like the acidity as it does not have the sweet taste that some other rieslings do.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Mike 1606 from Great Clare Valley Riesling I sometimes think this wine is better than that sold under their own name in some years. Not sure if it is uniform from lot to lot but it is good value.
