This Clare Valley winery ended up on my favourites list quickly.  The entire range is very good and so well priced.

This is the 30th Traditionale Riesling and I have been lucky enough to try a few of them. Well, I think ’07, ’12, ’13 & ’14 is a few.  It’s definitely more than a couple.

What a simply delicious wine.  That about sums it up in five words really.

Clean, crisp, zesty, minerally, lemons/limes, florally and long.  It’s very drinkable already because the acid is so silky soft too.  No wonder it’s so popular.  I’m glad I bought a six pack.

It’s also a very ‘flexible’ wine.  We drank it, for no other reason than, because it was such a beautiful, warm, sunny day in Hobart and it was perfect.

Not sure if the 2014 is still available but I do know the 2015 is the current release.  I haven’t tried it yet but I have heard very good things.

I’m pretty sure I’ve worked out the reason Clive Palmer was counting his money recently during Parliamentary Question Time.  He was making sure he had $25 to pick up a bottle of this on his way home after such an arduous day pushing for gender equality in cabinet.
