Riesling 2021 – Black Market Deal #43759
- Fresh, juicy
- Clare Valley
This snappy rizza has been taking us wine-o’s by storm. It’s from Clare Valley and is classic Clare - light, dry and delicious. The nose is floral and citric and the palate delivers that same bright citrus with lime cordial and grapefruit pith. You can just imagine how this wine would sing with South East Asian cuisine, packed with fresh herbs and tamarind. Brimming with fresh acidity, this wine is great drinking now and way into the future.

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.
