Clonakilla Canberra District Riesling
The third cool, wet vintage in a row has done nothing to slow the illustrious pace of progress at the finest estate in the Canberra district. The precision and intensity on display here are captivating, with a powerful kaffir lime juice core encased in notes of wet slate and granny smith apples. It surges with great energy through a finish propelled by awe-inspiring, high-tensile acidity, underlain with fine, slatey mouthfeel. It will be fiercely long-lived. $25 direct and at Discount Wines.
