2020 Clos Clare Watervale Riesling
Clare Valley, South Australia
$48.00
2020 Clos Clare Watervale Riesling has beautifully fresh fruit on the nose with sliced white-peach and lemon aromas, in very fresh and fragrant mode. The palate has a super fleshy feel with bright, fine citrus flavors and a lemon-zest finish. In a good place. Drink or hold. Screw cap.
93 points. Nick Stock, October 2020,
As the third generation of the Barry winemaking family, we now hold the keys to this boutique winery. Riesling is the Clare Valley’s signature variety and this is our 13th vintage from clos Clare’s Riesling patch, adjoining the historic ‘Florita’ vineyard in Watervale. The 50-year-old dry grown vines were hand-harvested and taken to The Wilson Vineyard at Polish Hill River, where they were chilled for 24 hours prior to whole bunch pressing and vinification.
Clean, ripe citrus and delicate florals on the nose. The palate is generous on the entry, tasty citrus florals with a hint of white peach, orange blossoms and daphne, the flow is generous yet restrained, a really good looking wine. – Tom & Sam Barry
