Snappy, racy, mouthwatering
Plucked from South Australia’s Mount Lofty Ranges, this racy Watervale Riesling is made from grapes sourced from two Clare plots within the Slate Creek Vineyard; the region is famous for its floral and spirited Rieslings. Rockbare is a partnership between the Jackson family (owner of Kendall-Jackson, La Crema among dozens more wineries) of California and the Valmorbida family of Melbourne. This label depicts a diprotodon (giant wombat), an ancient muscular quadrupedal marsupial who roamed the region some 1.6 million years ago (who knew?) that has fortunately (I should think) shrunk considerably to its current size.

This 2018 has precise aromas of lime and green apples, white peach and orchard blossoms, honey and lemon drops. Crunchy fruit, citrus and mineral flavours dominate the palate; the finish has a razor sharp and mouthwatering snap of lime
