JM 1ST APPROACH

The use of only the very best 500 litres per tonne of grapes has resulted in this wine being very intensely flavoured and aromatic.

The wine has very lifted riesling character with citrus aromatics of lime, lemon and grapefruit. The palate is seamless with moderate viscosity and brisk acid finish. Use as an aperitif or with any seafood. Riesling wines from Clare Valley are most enjoyable when young and zesty, or left to mature beyond five years of age. This wine has been sealed with Stelvin capsules to ensure its freshness and authenticity.

Bright and fragrant – kaffir lime leaf, white flowers, white peach, lime and grapefruit flavours. It’s precise and bursting with flavour for such a light wine and features bright flinty acidity and a good racy crisp finish. It will build and develop. I’d wait till the summer of 2012/13 before drinking it, and then it’s happy days over the next fifteen plus years.

Tim Adams generally makes low-alcohol, dry, austere rieslings requiring a few years to fill out and soften. But in 2012 the aroma and flavour’s already there, bursting like a genie from the bottle. And the alcohol level is still just 11.5 per cent. The beautiful aroma and juicy, intense, lemony varietal flavour comes with a load of refreshing natural acidity and not a sign of the fatness that can accompany forward young rieslings. 2012 looks to be a great riesling vintage in the Clare Valley. This one is sensational at the price. Chris Shanahan
