When we find a treasure that our mofos love, we keep going back for more. Here’s the fourth vintage of this Clare riesling that we’ve featured and the first three were a roaring success. It comes from one of the rising stars of the region and hits all the notes you’ve come to expect. It’s bursting with citrus, minerality and texture. Riesling from Clare is renowned for its bracing acid line carried forth with vivid fruit. This one delivers all that and then some. Load up the cellar before it’s gone!

Riesling is an under-rated chameleon, and this is a rare find. When the new vintage talks come up for the Crabtree Pomona riesling, I pounce on everything we can get. 2022 was heralded as being the vintage of a lifetime for many in South Australia, but the 2023 vintage in Clare managed to bump it out by a mile. We’re almost at the point of licking the bottle just to get every last drop. There’s hints of orange peel and jasmine underlying the preserved lemon and lime freshness. Heaps of that roaring acid. Fresh, dry, and perfect to quench your thirst on a warm day.

Zippy, zappy, zoomy riz! This is what we drink at home. Racy acidity and slatey minerality hold this in good stead for future drinking but this is such a wonderful wine to tuck into its youth that we doubt it'll make it past the summer. This is a stunning wine - zippy, lifted, aromatic rizza from the talented hands of Adam Barton at Atlas Wines (a verified Mofo fave producer). Green apple and pithy lime juice - pretty classic for the region. Limestone minerality and bristly acidity make for a playful, energetic drinking experience. It's bright and showing pure fruit expression, coupled with some floral aromatic complexity. This is super stylish and completely classic in every way.

Riposte by Tim Knappstein The Scimitar Riesling 2024 (Clare Valley) showcases the region’s signature Riesling style, crafted by third-generation winemaker Tim Knappstein. Sourced from a prized vineyard east of Watervale, this wine highlights exotic lime fruit, lily blossom, and heady floral aromas, with a palate marked by deep lime core, spicy acidity, and a chalky, fairy dust-like finish.

2023 Chardonnay Fresh, fruity, and impossible to sip just once. Say hello to sunshine in a bottle. This 2023 Clare Valley Chardonnay is crisp, vibrant, and grown on mature vines that bring serious flavour to the party. Pouring a pale straw gold, it kicks off with aromas of white peach and tropical fruits, then dances across your palate with juicy stone fruit, a touch of melon, and a silky, creamy finish that just goes on and on. Perfect for lazy lunches, sunset sips, or just because it’s Tuesday. It’s fresh, it’s friendly, and it plays well with food — or your favourite playlist. Go on, pour yourself a glass of joy. It’s the smoothest Chardonnay you will try.
