2024 Clare Valley Riesling

Tasting Notes

The 2024 Riesling has both elegance and intensity, with true Knappstein traits of lime, spice and white florals on the nose and a generously flavoured palate. Lively acid, mineral texture and a powerful and persistent lemon finish.

Growing Conditions

A cooler and wetter than average season due to an extended La Nina pattern provided a challenging growing season for all, yet the best vineyards still shone through. With the cooler conditions in Spring, budburst was delayed considerably, combined with substantial rain this proved challenging for many growers and required a change in tactics over the growing season.

Vineyard

The fruit is sourced from our own Clare Valley vineyards, showing the spectrum of flavours when blended carefully together. VIne age is 35+ years
