A very light yellow in colour (Its quite yellow compared to the greener young Australian Rieslings), with visible CO2 bubbles. The nose shows lime, slate, more lime & earth. Its a pure, expressive nose of power and beauty. The palate has lemon, lemonade, aspirin & intense lime juice, with acidity that is bracingly citrussy and quite Clare like in its searing dryness. As it warms up, this shows more musk and more pine lime, fruit-meets-acidity goodness.

Hi Andrew,
glad you like the wine. Dr Martin Tesch is a perfectionist in every sense of the word and his 07’s really highlight both the vineyard and vintage.
Cheers
Anthony
