Annie's Lane Riesling is water like in colour with lime hues. The nose offers strong aromas of citrus and ginger with subtle nuances of lemongrass and tale. The vibrant palate finishes with lemon pith, coriander seed and cloves. This wine is medium bodied, with pure Clare Valley Riesling characteristics; lemon, talc, spice and floral notes
Awards and Accolades
2013 Vintage: 90 Points - James Halliday, Australian Wine Companion "Bright, light straw-green; classic lime juice/floral/spice aromas lead into a generously built palate; will drink well in its youth, but won't suffer in bottle.
From the Winery
The grapes were crushed and drained during the cool of the night with the free-run juice retained. After a settling period of 4 to 5 days, these juices were racked . Following fermentation, all parcels were racked again and then evaluated for the final Annie’s Lane blend.
