An Australian icon-aged Clare Valley Riesling (in those days called Rhine Riesling unfortunately due to our country's slim knowledge base but later corrected against a barrage of opposition from conservatives and industrial makers of riesling, but not using riesling!) Classic glass of flavour; #honey #burnttoast #agedriesling #brulee #butter #crunch #yum #mouthful #watervale #treasuryestates ; wine made by the great man John Vickery before his defection to Richmond Grove when the Fosters people closed the brand down; but now it is back! Wine won three gold medals in the year of production-1990; probably never shown since. 12.5%; 1990 a terrific red year, usually not so for riesling; this had backbone; sweet acidity; nut power. — 10 years ago

On nose #honey #pear apple, #melon #butter brie cheese, flower petals.
Smooth on the mouth, refreshing and buttery, just as you would look in a chardonnay from napa.
I had it with pan fried salmon with lemon-butter. Risotto and salad, worked perfectly. — 3 years ago
