Why We Love This Wine
The inception of Claymore wines was created out of their passion to produce premium Clare Valley wines while bringing it together with 2 of life's other passions: music & football. As such, many of their labels are inspired by either football or some of the greatest music of modern times. Clare Valley, affectionately referred to as the "Gateway to the Outback" and the "Garden of the North", is a region with a lovely patch of green with old gum trees & majestic vineyards on the way to & from South Australia's Outback. Although world famous for crisp Rieslings, its modulating microclimate of long hot summer days & cool evenings creates an ideal setting for crafting delightfully elegant & flavorful Shiraz & Cabernet. Gentle, intuitive winemaking produces wines of elegance & structure from an eclectic mix of new & old wines some of which are over 80 years old. Zesty floral & citrus aromas lead to a fine boned acidity and minerality. Racy citrus dominates the palate with a delicate minerality and subtle notes of blossom & elderflower.
Winemaker / Tasting Notes
A dry Riesling with lime & citrus aromas, a tangy acidity, & chalky minerality that carries through a nice, long finish
