"Riesling is the gift of the gods to the grape world. It doesn't matter whether it's sweet like honey or as sharp as cracked whip, Riesling is where it's at. I absolutely adore the dry style that Clare does oh-so-beautifully. So we found my favourite clone grown on a stunning site outside of Auburn, fermented it at the usual cold temperatures yet let it go dry. Think lime blossoms, pretty white flowers and a zesty acidity all fleshed out with a succulent core of fruit Delish!"
