[SOLD-OUT] Clonakilla Riesling 2021

 

"One of Australia’s finest rieslings; a benchmark riesling for me. Loads of floral perfume, preserved lemon, pretty talc scents, a bit of warm river pebble, lime juice. Delicate in the palate, more lime juice here, tart and with great energy, crispness, cool herbal notes, some chalky pucker and endless mouth-watering length. Tightly wound but slightly juicy, if you get the drift. Beautiful expression, high toned saline mineral acidity, refreshing now to the max, will last a generation." - Mike Bennie, Wine Front

 

"As pure as a spring day and smelling of a citrus orchard in bloom. A heady mix of lime and lemon sprinkled with ginger powder are just teasers, as this is complex and beguiling. The palate is long and defined by acidity as much as the power of the fruit. It has texture, succulence and a slickness rendering it assured and impressive." - Jane Faulkner, Wine Companion

 

"A seriously good, young dry riesling with a striking mineral edge to the nose of fresh lime juice, wet stones and gentle herbal notes.The palate has real intensity and depth with a vivid citrus and white-peach fruit drive. Snaps dry and the flavours hold pure and long." - Nick Stock, jamessuckling.com

 

"After the smoke-ravaged 2020 vintage the 2021 season came as a blessing with regular falls of rain and cool conditions just perfect for Riesling. The long ripening window has given us fine, detailed fruit characters and enabled plenty of fresh natural acid retention in the wines. Drink now for its razor fine floral, citrus-edged fruit or cellar for up to 15 years and watch it develop lime and toast characters with age." - Clonakilla
