Opened with a Greek themed Mother’s Day dinner. Very light and pale color, almost clear. Not too impressive at first, but after about 20 minutes it started showing really nice fruit flavors dominated by lemon zest, with lime and some melon. Nice dinner partner and very good QPR at $13.

Much like my previous tasting note. Faint flavors - like it has gone through a flavor filter. Stone friut, citrus, mineral, a touch of petrol. A very neutral reisling. Probably good for cutting spicy dishes

Clear, very pale, water-white to lemon-green. Clean, youthful nose of medium intensity, with lemon, lime and lime flower. Dry, medium (+) tingling acidity, medium (-) alcohol (12%), medium bodied, medium (+) flavour intensity, with lemon, lime and crisp apple. Medium length.
Very good. Refined acid, combined with the pure fruit flavors, make for an exceptional QPR wine with great Clare Valley typicity. Can drink now, but will develop with age. To be honest, this is probably too young, but the lightness of the acid profile, makes it very enjoyable already.
Screwcap, INAO tasting glass.

Clear, almost no colour, perhaps a slight green tinge.
Nose is clean with freshly squeezed lemons and limes. Citrus candy. Newly cut green grass.
Body is light, high acidity, very little residual sugar, if any at all. Lemon and lime sherbet. Salty, wet rocks. Minerally driven wine.
Finish is medium length but the juicy acidity keeps the mouth salivating. Very good dry Riesling that is drinkable now but with more to come for 5-10 years.

Nicely dry, but very little flavor. Faint notes of stone fruit and petrol, but not much else. EDIT: my note does not seem to match up with previous reviews. Bad bottle?

Beautiful wine and really good value for money. Drank from Riedel Vinum XL Riesling glass, which really highlighted the intense nose of stone fruit, pear, white flowers, lime/citrus. Excellent line of acidity on the palate. Refreshing and crisp. Juicy/mouthwatering - makes you want to keep having more and/or to want to have with food. Paired really well with beef Pad Thai/chili basil noodles with chicken.

Tasting at Jim Barry Cellar Door (Clare): elegant sweet nose, rounded white fruit. Very crisp, almost racy, with slight residual sugar. crystalline quartz, lemon pith. red/green apple peel. Lovely tension!

A few months in bottle now and looking fantastic. Lemon/lime, a touch of talc, granny smith apple tartness with a very good line of acidity. For about $15 – this is a cracker.

Classic Clare Riesling. Fresh and varietal. Lacking just a little depth of fruit on the palate.
