RIPOSTE BY TIM KNAPPSTEIN The Scimitar Riesling, Clare Valley

Produced from 40 year old vines in the Clare Valley's renowned Watervale district this superb Riesling shows vibrant citrus fruit on the nose with deep minerally flavours and a crisp lingering finish.

Riesling semi-dry white wine with appellation of origin from the Tikve wine region. This wine has a greenish-yellow colour, a distinctive scent of honey and freshness from citrus fruit aromas and complex floral flavour with characteristic sweet aftertaste.

Macaw Creek Mount Lofty Ranges Organic Riesling displays a pale straw colour with green highlights throughout the wine. Floral aromas of Riesling grapes as well as fresh lemon, lime and citrus scents flow from the attractive bouquet, which is further balanced by a natural mineral acidity on the palate to end in a crisp and captivating finale. This enticing Organic Riesling tastes marvellous with oysters, grilled fruits and pan-fried whiting fish.

A beautiful clean and crisp Riesling with distinct varietal and regional character. Pale gold straw. Fragrant green lime and grapefruit with delicate floral notes. Wonderful purity of flavour, fresh lime juice and a bright minerality. Zesty and lively with a long persistent finish.

The wine-growing region Nahe is situated along the River Nahe in the state of Rhineland-Palatinate. The region has around 4.000 ha of vineyards: white wine grapes dominate with 75% with the Riesling as the most common. A characteristic of the Nahe region os the soil diversity due to volcanic origins. Although the region was populated already in Roman times, the Nahe region was defined only in 1971 in the German wine law. Paradiesgarten is a special small appellation in the Nahe Valley near the village of Meddersheim, translated the word means "Garden of Eden/Paradise" due to the beautiful countryside

Aromatic dry white, pale straw in colour, lifted lime zest and red apple blossom on the nose. Refreshing palate with upfront fruit characters of grapefruit and red apple balanced beautifully with crisp acidity and a rich palate.
