Koerner Watervale Riesling 2019
Watervale, Clare Valley, South Australia, AustraliaFrom Watervale's Gullyview Vineyard, the riesling from these two blocks were planted in 1974 on southern Clare's classic terra rosa soils (red clay on limestone). After a destemming and long, slow, gentle press (18 hours), this was native fermented in 40% ceramic amphora, 40% steel, and 20% Slavonian oak demi-muid for 2 months, before aging and tightening in stainless for 5 months prior to bottling without fining or filtration. Herbal led, this runs with pulpy lime, grapefruit, earthy lees, and mineral salts along a sleek, long, lighter (11.4 degrees) palate. Modern Clare, as intended.Tasted: 20 March 2020Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| BC | $46.00 | 750ml | private wine shops |
