Riesling 2018 – Black Market Deal #43800
- Light, aromatic
- Clare Valley
Even if you don’t know that you know Clare rieslings, we’re gonna take a bet that you’ve drank one or two (or hundreds) in your life. It’s the little things that count- and if we’re talking scale, Clare riesling is certainly one of them. So, when you find anyone who has held onto theirs for a few years, it’s a pretty magnificent experience to taste: lime cordial turns to lemon curd, a glimmer of tropical fruits shines through and the acidity suddenly seems to make perfect sense. This may be a cracker of a price, but in reality wines like this are truly priceless.

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.
