2024 Old Vine Slate Riesling – 93 points – The Winefront (Mike Bennie)
From the 1923 planted Parish Family Vineyard in Clare Valley. Slate one could imagine is the dominant soil profile.
Such power and grace. Vibrancy and succulence. Sweet lime-lemon gets bested by ginger, cumquat, tangerine, with touches of green almond, Real Lemonade and touches of tonic and mineral water. Pure, so powerful and yet fresh, stacks of character and a bit of a ‘wow wine’ without getting out of bed. Super drinking.
