The Riesling Grape

The Riesling Grape

Grape Variety

The Clare Valley is renowned for its Riesling grape variety, earning its name as “the heart of Australian Riesling”. Riesling reigns supreme in Clare Valley due to the region’s cool climate, fertile soils and lay of the land. The drier styles are recognised as some of the best in the world, providing benchmarks of quality. The wines are particularly famous for their depth of classic Riesling flavours - of exotic citrus, lime and orange blossoms, crunchy apples with a healthy dose of minerals, and crisp natural acidity.
