Clare Valley, South Australia
South Australia’s stunning Clare Valley is an enigma. Its ability to produce full-bodied reds and delicately floral Rieslings under a continental climate makes it famous for wines of intensity and balance (its secret is cool afternoon breezes to slow down ripening).
Good winter rainfall set up the vines well for the growing season, establishing healthy canopies protecting the Riesling fruit from sun exposure. The lead up to vintage and the ripening period was cool to mild with mostly dry conditions allowing for the fruit to develop vibrant and Intense flavours with lovely natural acidity and minimal disease pressure. The harvest period was not as condensed as recent vintage with fruit development gradually reaching Its optimum over a two and a half week period.
