Description

An elegant, crisp and dry Riesling from Clare Valley — widely regarded as Australia’s benchmark region for the variety — this Single Vineyard release captures everything that defines great Australian Riesling. True to the Ortus philosophy of adventure, passion and place, the wine reflects both thoughtful craftsmanship and the clarity of its origin. In the glass, it displays a brilliant pale straw colour. The nose is lifted and precise, offering delicate floral notes of jasmine alongside fresh citrus and lime. There’s an immediate sense of purity and focus, hinting at both freshness and longevity. On the palate, fine minerality leads into juicy lemon and citrus drive, balanced by a creamy yet crisp, mouth-filling finish. The texture is poised and refreshing, delivering vibrancy without sharpness and elegance without restraint. Drinking beautifully now, yet with the structure and natural acidity to reward careful cellaring for another few years. A natural match for fresh oysters and seafood, or an excellent partner to spicy Thai dishes, where its freshness and minerality truly shine. A classic Clare Valley Riesling — expressive, precise and quietly compelling.
