A lovely lightly macerated Riesling from the Clare Valley. Written about in the NYT as the way we’re drinking Riesling now and we couldn’t agree more! 18 hours on the skins.
Tasting Notes: This wine has lovely texture from the skin contact with citrus, and bright acidity.
Pairing Suggestions: Appetizers, Picnic Food, Grilled Chicken

Producer Profile
The Koerner brothers, Damon and Jono, are on a mission to bring the classic wine styles of the Clare Valley into the modern day. They play with a mix of ‘classic’ Clare Valley varieties such as Riesling, Cabernet and Malbec and a suite of alternate varieties that show a different side of this iconic Australian wine region. With fruit sourced from their own family vineyard and a move toward more contemporary winemaking, utilising terracotta and ceramic for fermenting and making as little additions as possible in the winery, it’s easy to see why their star is on the rise.
