Another classic Riesling from the Clare Valley! Lemon and lime with some floral notes on the nose are matched with long citrus flavours and crisp acidity. Enjoy young and fresh or with bottle age.
Nature's Step Organic Wild Ferment Sauvignon Blanc
With vineyards certified organic by the Biological Farmers of Australia, Nature's Step Wild Ferment Sauvignon Blanc is a wonderfully crisp organic Sauv Blanc that is bursting with ripe citrus and gooseberry flavours. Fermented only using the natural 'wild yeast' already existing within the winery, this Sauvignon Blanc is made with a minimal intervention approach that helps encourage the wines true aromatic nature to reveal itself.
Pikes Sauvignon Blanc Semillon
Crisp lively drinking from this respected producer with the grassy Sauvignon Blanc character balancing the fuller Semillon flavours. Bottled under screwcap to retain freshness.
Mr Mick Fiano
Brilliant very pale straw colour with greenish tinged edges and a watery hue. Elevated pear and red apple aromas intermix with hints of honeysuckle and lime. Delicious juicy pear and red apple fruits drive the mouth watering palate with some delicate infusions of fresh herbs lying underneath. Excellent intensity and beautifully rounded texturally it finishes with a lick of crisp acidity and a long supple fruit driven aftertaste. Drink over the next year. Alc. 11.5%
Vickery Watervale Riesling
This wine from Vickery displays hallmark Watervale aromas showing pure Riesling characteristics of fresh lemon-lime citrus, floral honeysuckle and a creamy richness. The flavours are fresh lemon citrus, with soft mineral acidity supported by the persistent and mouth-watering finish. An absolute delight to drink in its first flush of youth, but will intrigue and reward with additional complexity upon cellaring for 5-20 years.

Jim Barry 'Barry & Sons' Riesling
This great Clare Valley Riesling opens with lavender, pear and talc aromas. Juicy fruit continues on the palate adding some bruised apple, refreshing acidity, viscosity and mid palate weight. Ideal as an aperitif, with spicy cuisine or with most seafood dishes.
Wicks Estate Riesling
Riesling has a strong affinity for the cooler climes of the World, and it is therefore no surprise that it would produce wines of great character in the Adelaide Hills. Whilst we made the hard decision to graft some of our Riesling vines over to Pinot Noir some years back, we have retained only the most promising clones to produce our Riesling as its perhaps the top white pick amongst staff and remains a labour of love. The Riesling crop, whilst minuscule, showed hallmark varietal characters and fine acidity nurtured by the cool nights and warm sunny days. Careful sampling in the vineyard, paying particular attention to flavour development and acid levels, meant the fruit was harvested on the 14th of March when the ideal balance was reached. Lifted floral aromas and the lively citrus fruit intensity are finely balanced by the tight structure and crisp natural acidity.
