GCV Celtic Farm Riesling
2016

Made as an approachable wine for early consumption, but notched up gold medals at the Clare Valley Wine Show] and the Canberra International Riesling Competition. The bouquet and palate exude lime and Meyer lemon fruit, but there is also good acidity. The grapes were machine-harvested, and the wine fermented with cultured yeast.

The less expensive, more ready to rumble little brother of the Gaelic Cemetery Riesling. More weight and less purity than its big brother, but more open and affable as a youngster. There’s a slight chalkiness to the texture and a twist of lime rind bitterness on the finish along with lime, lemon, apple and bathroom florals. Clean acidity and juicy sweetness makes this a very good drink
