GCV Celtic Farm Riesling
2012
242
The 2012 GCV Celtic Farm Riesling comes from three different blocks on the vineyard and our intention is to make a wine in the modern Australian Riesling style – crisp, dry and fresh.
Citrus characters of lemon and lime on full display along with some attractive floral notes.

The "entry level" Riesling but one that seriously over-delivers. Purity and flavor are abundant and it makes for sensational value.

Tasting Notes
Pale green appearance with typical Clare Valley Riesling characters on full display, including lemon, lime & grapefruit - along a little mineral. The palate is crisp, dry and fresh; the balanced acidity ensuring a bright, clean finish. Great with any seafood really – try this with salt and pepper calamari.
