Nose: Fresh lime juice, lemon curd, citrus rind and hints of green apples combine seductively on the nose.
Palate: Delicately poised yet packed full of flavour, the palate brings together the lime and lemon notes

complexity.

The season was quite dry overall with little winter and spring rainfall across the region. This low rainfall combined with warm weather resulted in lower yields but with ripe and flavour rich
grapes. Cooler night time temperatures pushed the harvest well into midFebruary and early March, retaining fruit with typically higher natural acidities, fresh flavour profiles and lively palate characteristics.
Each parcel of Riesling was kept separate and processed individually, fermenting cool in stainless steel. Once dry, the final Mulga blend was assembled and bottled in late 2019. A classic Clare Valley Riesling that features elevated fruit flavours from the warmer vintage matched to crisp, natural acidity.
