2017 Hardys HRB Riesling

Fruit for this wine was sourced from the Clare Valley and Tasmania. Brilliant water like colour with a slight tinge of green around the outskirts. Elevated lime juice and orange rind aromas interplay with citrusy talc like characters, green apple and steely mineral notes. Unfolding across the palate are intense lime and citrus flavours backed by a steely mineral infused core. Subtle orange rind and crunchy green apple elements are also apparent. Exceptional power, finishing dry with crisp mouth watering acidity and a long aftertaste.
Drink over the next 5-6 years.
Alc. 12.5%

Bin D674. A harmonious blend from the Clare Valley and Tasmania. It steals the best from each - the lime-lemon juice and zest of the Clare matched with the mineral thread of acidity and depth of flavour from Tasmania, and rolls them into a synergistic whole. Pure, precise and pristine, with great length.
