Wine Reviews
2025 HALLIDAY WINE COMPANION TOP 100 - Old Vine Slate Riesling.
Our 2024 Old Vine Slate Riesling scored 96 points and ranked in the White Wines over $40.
"The fruit for this wine is sourced from 101-year-old vines from the Parish vineyard, and it doesn't feel like we are in the Clare anymore. It smells and drinks of elsewhere, more the ilk of Rheingau. Indeed, the red clay on slate soils imparts a level of richness beyond a single dimension. This is deliciously citrusy, citing a mandarin note amongst the usual lemon-lime. It's fleshy, tensile and feels tireless in its drive. Powdered quartz, green apple, some phenolic grip and a crunchy spiced pear note that thrums a pulse behind the endless stream of powerful fruit. A true marvel." – Katrina Butler
