2002 Annie's Lane Riesling

The 2002 Annie’s Lane Riesling is pale in colour, with vibrant green hues. The nose displays the elegant classic characters of Clare Valley Riesling; minerally, citrus, lime and lemon with a hint of perfumed floral blossom. On the palate, limey citrus flavours show finesse and elegance with balanced crisp zesty acidity in a lingering finish. Alc/Vol: 12.0 %
Cellar 5 to 8 years (2007-2010).
