Knappstein Ackland Vineyard Watervale Riesling 2023, Clare Valley, AUD $30
The Ackland vineyard is always considered the benchmark for each Knappstein vintage.
Ultra-pale lemon colour. White flowers, lime zest and oyster brine aromatics. Fresh and vibrant with a beautiful balance of lime fruits set against a sea brine minerality whilst hints of florals lift and engage. Precise and focused yet the acidity is supple and subtle right to the very long finish. A delight to drink now and will develop positively as it ages. (Screwcap)
