Hills & Valleys Clare Valley Riesling 2015
There’s no reason for this 2015 bargain bin wine to be as sublime as it is right now in 2024. Classic petrol with candied tangerine, grapefruit and ginger aromatics mid palate is lively again with candied citrus. A little lightweight at the finish but an unexpected pleasure — 2 months ago
