Tasting Notes
This is the 5th release of this wine and one that remains one of the most exciting examples of Clare Valley Riesling. The long late vintage in 2017 meant that it was our latest Riesling pick so far on 11th March! The same treatment as 2016 - 14 days macerating on skins and lightly hand plunged only once per day, pressed to stainless steel and left on its fermentation lees right up until bottling. This later vintage has provided us with a wine with a bit less of that razor-like acidity and something that is a bit easier drinking. - Distributor Note
Architect by day, winemaker by night, David Caporaletti is calculated and precise as much as he is rogue and experimental in his winemaking. Having made wine fo the last few year, David shows mind-boggling intuition with his 'less-is-more' mantra. With fruit sourced from the Adelaide Hills and Wrattonbully, AOW wines show restraint in all the right places - both in skin contact time, use of oak and extraction of tannin. Another great reason why The Hills is proving to be a breeding ground for young winemakers with access to great fruit, sensibility and a taste for adventure in their craft. - Distributor Note
