The 2019 Vintage in the Clare Valley was exceptional, with a fairly moderate reopening season for the whites. This retained the freshness and natural acidity that gives Riesling its beautiful varietal character and flavour. When I made this wine, from the vineyard, to pressing the fruit and then finally fermentation, the flavour was intense and lively. I knew this would be an exceptional wine. Having endorsement from Halliday ratings helps convey this to readers of the publication and gives confidence to consumers that may be new to the brand, and my loyal customers who have been drinking this wine since the beginning, well they obviously know their stuff!. I’m really happy to see this wine receive 96 Points. The rating system James uses describes wines that score 95-96 points as outstanding.

Covid-19 & Wine
COVID -19, has brought some challenges, and also some opportunity to think outside the square… restaurant sales have virtually stopped, but its given me the drive to get the website up and running and connect with customers and work on direct to consumer sales, and raising the wine profile. I’ve had more time in the vineyard, which I love!
