Kirrihill E.B. Gleeson ‘The Settler’ Riesling Vertical
- Mixed
- Clare Valley
Some producers are one hit wonders, and some are as versatile as the day is long. Kirrhill are in the latter camp, with great wines from shiraz, to cabernet, Malbec to Mataro. But of course we wouldn’t be talking highlights if we weren’t talking riesling, and ‘The Settler’ is exactly that. From the WSS vineyard in Watervale - prized for it’s unique soils- this is a wine that is equally enjoyable right of the bottling line as it is 10 years down the track. But why tell you, when you can see for yourself? Three consecutive vintages, and three expressive wines show the power of great Clare Valley rizza.
Each case contains TWO bottles of each of the following:

Showing depth and complexity that only great wines can do with age, this wine will take the wheel and drive you into the sunset. A little bit of that famed 'kerosene' note from the age, and fleshy characters coming through (think peach skins and lime zest). The finish really shines with a bit of slate and a bittersweet marmalade goodness. If this development is anything to go off, you're in store for some great drinking in years to come.

The middle sibling, this wine holds nothing back. The lower yields of the 2019 vintage were promising for the concentration of flavours in every drop, and this wine delivers on its promises. Springing out of the glass with intense lime and citrus drive. A little bit waxy and oily, but all the while persistent with a dense mineral core. A steely palate glides you into the refreshing lemon sherbet finish.

The youngest of the trio, you'll see exactly what Clare is renowned for with this number. Lime cordial meets the sea spray, herbacious freshness that puts you right at the summer holiday spot. While it may be austere and fresh in it's youth, the 2020 vintage was one of great fruit quality, and promises great things with more time in bottle.
