Olssen Watervale Riesling 2007
|
| |
|
|
This wine has a lifted, perfumed nose of orange blossom and citrus fruits. Lemons and limes are the dominant characteristics on the tightly structured palate. It finishes bone dry and is a wine that will show its best with food.
Situated in a beautiful secluded valley north west of Watervale, the Olssen vineyard benefits from the shading effect of the steep valley sides, resulting in estate grown wines of great finesse and elegance.
Staff Tasting: A lovely dry style Riesling with vibrant lemon, grapefruit, melon and that wonderful touch of honey that Olssen always manage to do just right. Gorgeous. Tasters: MM, LC.
Helen and Kevin Olssen moved to the valley from Adelaide in 1987 and since 1994 have been producing wines under their own label. The range now includes Riesling, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Mataro, Primitivo, Late Harvest Riesling, Carmenere and Shiraz.
The Olssens' aim is to produce only limited quantities of high quality wines from their thirty-two hectares of vines. This unique vineyard in its wonderfully picturesque setting is one of Clare's best kept secrets, and is well worth seeking out.
