Mr. RiggsWatervale Riesling 2016
About this product
Crisp, tangy and delicate, Mr. Riggs Watervale Riesling displays a pale yellow with lime hues. Vibrant bouquet of stone fruit, slate and zesty lime. Fine acidity and great balance, the palate is an explosion of fresh yellow fruit and superb minerality.

Classic Clare Valley Watervale style, with abundant varietal fruit covering all the various citrus bases and sustained by positive minerally/slatey acidity. Good now, greater still in 5+ years.

From the Churinga Vineyard, cool-fermented in stainless steel, bottled Nov. A powerful expression of Clare riesling, a rock of ages in the years to come; a lemon and musk bouquet, ripe citrus and green apple, plus a twitch of background spice, is allied with its excellent acidity.
