Riesling 2021– Black Market Deal #41271
- Light, aromatic
- Clare Valley
Watervale reigns king as the best region for sourcing riesling in Clare Valley. Which is the best region in South Australia. Which is the best in Australia. We could stop there, but Australia produces some of the most renowned rieslings in the world. You get where we’re going. This is coming from the pinnacle of riesling vines, so you can sit comfortably knowing this wine has value written all over it. Delicate florals and lime peel fill the nose, hinting to that classic Aussie style that will sit tight in the cellar for yonks. Of course, as a drink-now quoffer you can’t go wrong. It’s uber crisp, refreshingly zesty, and sumptuously delicate. Talk about good value.

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.
