VICKERY WATERVALE RIESLING 750ML 12%

Description

GRAPE: Riesling

COUNTRY: Australia

750ML
12% ABV

Pale yellow, with a tinge of green. Apple blossom, hints of fennel and juicy, ripe stone fruits. A year showing full flavour ripeness, finesse and bright, balanced natural acidity. This wine is generous with a lovely zest.

Food Match: Chilli crab and infact most seafood.

As with all Vickery Rieslings, this wine will be bright and fresh in its youth yet will reward careful cellaring for 10 -20 years.

John Vickery is the acknowledged old master of Riesling in Australia, with an illustrious career spanning over fifty years, culminating in the extraordinary awards tally of more than fifty trophies and over four hundred gold medals.

The Rieslings he crafted from Watervale (in the Clare Valley) and Eden Valley (in the Barossa) stand tall as the epitome of this most majestic grape variety, each with a unique South Australian and sub-regional thumbprint. Vickery wines are made in collaboration with talented winemaker and family friend Philip Lehmann, so that John's winemaking methods and knowledge will be preserved and passed on for generations to come, for the benefit of all lovers of classic Australian Riesling.

The Vickery Watervale Riesling is a classic example of this wine style. Bright vivacious colour, lifted aromatics with intense fruit flavours on the middle palate. Fresh lime acidity completes a long and persistent finish.

"This has an intense lime and bath-powder nose. Really classic. The palate is steely and has a piercingly dry and punchy feel with intense lime and a pithy finish with hints of grapefruit. Drink or hold. Screw cap."
