  Acid haus (Stanley Street Gallery, Sydney): Ahh, smells like an Aussie Riesling. Lime, lime pith and lime concentrate. And so it proves on the palate. Bone dry, sharply acidic, pointy lime juice. What's there is balanced but it needs half a millennia unless you're pouring it on freshly shucked oysters...

  Riesling Riot 2018: Herb, pear, peaches and apple on the nose. Palate is well balanced given the cutting acidity, with the fruit power giving it some early approachability. Will age well without too much doubt.

  The 2017s Rieslings from Clare are much lighter in colour than 2016, this is no exception. Citrus nose with florals, sour sobs and flint. A very good line of acidity running through the core of the wine, typical Watervale in style with lime citrus notes, with some minerals and a touch of flint. The finish is medium to long. The wine is still very young in bottle and needs some time to settle down I think. Will revisit in about 6 months time. Given the acid structure, this should be long lived.
