2008 'TRADITIONALE' RIESLING

Colour: Brilliant pale green colour.                                                                                                                    

Aroma: Clean and vibrant displaying citrus fruits with delicate notes of bathpowder, musk and mineral. Typical Clare Riesling in a very good year.

Palate: Crisp, fresh and dry, brimming with zesty lemon/lime/grapefruit flavours all wound around a core of tight mineral acidty. There is plenty of ripe, soft flavour to balance the bright acid.

Summary: Clare Riesling at it’s brilliant best. Great drink as a fresh young white, but will take 5-7 years in the bottle for those who like a little more complexity in their Rieslings.
