"Vintage 2014 was a wild ride. October frost, November hail, a February heat wave and April rain! Climatic challenges aside, the wines have turned out very well indeed. In typical Canberra Riesling fashion it's clean and fresh with brisk florals, sparky citrus and ripe apple notes. The Riesling enigma at work: it exhibits both delicacy and power in equal measure. Drink now for its purity of fruit or cellar for up to 12 years and watch it develop honey and toast characters with age."

"Clonakilla makes excellent riesling. Light, varietal aromas of lime, spring blossom and apple pie. A long fragrant finish."

"The run of Clonakilla Riesling is almost as stellar as the famed Shiraz Viognier. This is a beauty. A pearl. Textural, lengthy, powerful. One sip and you're sucked straight in. Apple skin and juice, lime zest, slate, floral notes, a hint of smoky reduction. Remarkable purity. Outstanding."

"It's captivating even now, two-and-a-half months prior to its October release. Beautiful aromatics of kaffir lime and lemon meet delicate, subtle exotics of pear, tangelo and persimmon. The palate is gentle and softly textural, with subtle mineral mouth feel and lingering kaffir lime and red apple skin flavours. This is an earlier drinking Clonakilla Riesling of delicately balanced, poise, integrity and persistence."
