Clonakilla Riesling 2022

The clarity of the flavour here is quite something. Apple, fresh and intense, red and green, meets slate and chalk, a touch of steel too. It has both drive and flavour but it also has texture; not overt but enough to slow the wine down on its way through your mouth, like stones and branches in a stream, helping everything to settle and sink in. The tinge of green to the hue here is another quality marker. I especially like that this wine has all the persistent you could wish for, but also has some body, some flesh. Drink: 2022 - 2034+. 94 points ? Campbell Mattinson, The Wine Front
