A wet winter provided vineyards with plenty of potential for development of strong, healthy and dense canopies. Humid and cool conditions toward the end of vintage proved conducive to botrytis infection in this selected Riesling block, at one of the highest elevations in the Clare Valley. The level of infection has produced a luscious and very sweet wine with balanced botrytis characters in harmony with Riesling citrus and floral characters.
The wine is delicious with fresh fruit, desserts and full flavoured cheeses. Crisp natural acidity ensures the palate is not cloying or over-sweet. Sealed with a screw-cap closure, our Botrytis Riesling will continue to improve in bottle for a period of at least 10 years.
