2022 Adelina Riesling Watervale Clare Valley – The equation is blissfully straightforward: A cool and dry vintage low yields Adelina = wines with pristine fruit and beautiful natural acidity.This year the Watervale is a blend of two vineyards: blocks G11 and G6 from the Gullyview vineyard (planted in 2001 on red loamy clay over limestone); and as of 2021 the Kloock vineyard (north of Watervale, with light brown loam over limestone) enters to story. A bit of history… Fruit from Gullyview G6 went into the Rieslings John Vickery made for Richmond Grove in the 2000s. Vickery also sourced fruit from other blocks at Gullyview for some of the legendary Leo Buring Rieslings of the 1970s. So, we’re talking about quality Clare real estate here.With its aromas of orange and lime blossom, lemon sherbet and lime zest, this explodes from the glass. It’s ripe, racy and long, with perfectly integrated acidity. While it will undoubtedly age well, it’s already a joy to drink.Single Price: $32.00 Any Six Bottle Buy: $24.00
