2023 Clonakilla Riesling

Brilliant water like core with greenish toned edges. Pronounced lemon and lime aromas are complimented by a whiff of mandarin, chalky talc and steely mineral notes. A concentrated chorus of lime, citrus and orange rind fruits race across the mouth watering palate with boundless energy. Chalky talc, faint honeysuckle and flinty mineral characters linger underneath. Crisp steely acidity provides structure. Mouth filling it finishes long with a zingy minerality.
Drink over the next 6-8 years.
Alc. 11.5%

Other Reviews….
Smelling this is like walking through a cottage garden full of spring flowers especially fragrant with lime blossom. At first, it feels light and delicate but there’s more to come: texture, juiciness, a waft of wet pebbles, there’s an intensity yet fineness, too, a slip of texture and excellent length. A compelling offering now but this will last a distance. Can you wait? Drink by 2036.

Latest harvest since 2011.
Brilliant flavour and length. Apple, steel, florals and lime with a lemonade-like character thereabouts. Bot the texture and the flavour are bang on here. It’s a gorgeous drink. Drink 2023-2034+
