2025 Clos Clare Watervale Riesling

Clos Clare is a Clare Valley venture owned by the famous Barry family, and run by the youngest generation of Barrys, Tom and Sam.

They purchased the iconic Clos Clare vineyard in 2008 and have since taken both the Rieslings and recently added reds to a previously unmatched level of quality.

This release is again an absolute steal for the price for lovers of quality Clare Riesling, all fragrant florals and citrus, and not a hard edge in sight. Mouthwateringly delightful.

"A crisp and crackling riesling with just a touch of body, some quiet, nutty savoury elements, a good drive of citrusy freshness and tang. A bit of green herb and snow pea snap to the wine, too. It fits the varietal definitions; it provides freshness and feels well balanced in its elements. A little shrill twang through the finish is the only quibble. At the price, you should be happy with this."
