GCV Celtic Farm Riesling
2013
241
The 2013 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 in appearance with typical Clare Valley Riesling citrus characters of lemon and lime on full display along with some attractive floral notes. The palate is crisp, dry and fresh; the balanced acidity ensuring a bright, clean finish. Great with any seafood – but the match with freshly shucked oysters is hard to go past.
