Described by the Claymore team as a “regional collaboration release developed in partnership with selected local growers, using fruit from Claymore’s estate blocks in Watervale as well as picks out of Auburn and Sevenhill parishes.”
Three experienced reviewers have all given this a thumbs up. Ray Jordan notes: "Wow, you get some real intensity on the nose with this one from the Clare Valley. There’s an intensity of lemon rind and a slightly pithy character, plus a slatey minerality. The palate has a refreshing, crunchy mouthfeel with a tense thread running deep within the powerful and intense fruit. There’s almost a smoky character here that adds further to what is a most engaging and intriguing wine. Will certainly handle some extended cellaring. 95pts"
For Tony Love: "It’s a very pretty wine from the outset: powdery lemon sherbet, Bickfords lime cordial, lime tree florals, all the aromatic joys of the variety and region with a cool, refreshing set of palate flavours reflecting the initial enticements, a fruity tang to match. A delicious Clare Riesling in a very accessible style and price point. 93Pts"
Ken Gargett notes: ”… this is quite a forward, bright style of Riesling. Destined to be drunk a little earlier than some of the classic Clare Rieslings, and nothing wrong with that, we have notes of florals, nectarines, lemon sponge cake and a touch of peaches. There is zippy acidity in this wine of medium length. An attractive style for drinking anytime over the next four to six years. Good value. 92pts" (Ken Gargett).
