2025 O'Leary Walker Polish Hill River Riesling
For a quarter of a century, O’Leary Walker has been setting the benchmark for Clare Valley Riesling, and this 2025 Polish Hill River release shows exactly why.
Sourced from organically grown vineyards first planted in the 1970s, this wine captures the essence of the Polish Hill subregion - slate-rich soils, cool nights, and fruit that speaks more of precision than power. The 2025 vintage was one of the driest in recent memory, resulting in smaller berries and remarkable concentration.
The wine is taut and pure, full of lime zest, green apple, and crushed rock. There’s that hallmark Polish Hill tension - bright acidity balanced by a fine mineral edge - giving it a long, clean finish and years of life ahead.
This is classic Clare Valley Riesling, built for both early pleasure and serious ageing. A milestone vintage from one of the region’s most reliable and respected names.
