Crabtree Watervale Riesling 2020
- Light, aromatic
- Clare Valley
Mofos, this is big time rizza from Crabtree, one of the Clare’s best. It’s a bottle of hand-picked goodness stuffed to the stelvin cap with Watervale fruit. It’s all citrus and apples and herb. It’s crisp, dry and full of juicy acidity. Whether you want to cellar this beauty for a handful more years or crack it open next week over a plate of mussels, this rizza can do no wrong.

Clare Valley
Riesling lovers need look no further. If there was ever a shrine to the rizza gods then it would be in the Clare. But go beyond the pristine, dry and steely whites that made the region world famous, and you’ll find some special reds worthy of attention. Shiraz and cabernet are among the frontrunners, with examples from Kilikanoon, Jim Barry, Leasingham, Tim Adams and Skillogalee regularly receiving top marks from Sir Halliday. There’s also some pretty smart grenache, cabernet franc and cabernet malbec coming out of the region too. So if you’re into plummy, well structured red wine styles, then you’ll find rich pickings here.
