Schild Estate Clare Valley Riesling Estate Range Lemon, lime citrus, crunchy green apple and perfumed floral notes. A clear line of lively natural acidity travels through the palate. Refreshing and bright. Variety: Riesling Vintage: 2025 Region: Clare Valley Reviewer's words: 95 Points Bright and intensely aromatic, opening with vibrant lime zest, green apple and lemon blossom complemented by delicate jasmine and wet stone nuances. The palate is crisp and finely focused with lively citrus flavours supported by mouth-watering acidity and exceptional precision. Layers of lime juice, Granny Smith apple and subtle minerality carry effortlessly through to a long, refreshing finish with impressive persistence. ★★★★★ A vibrant Riesling showcasing purity, precision and classic Clare Valley freshness. - Russ Gallagher, Vino Masters 92 Points The Clare Valley vineyard providing the fruit for this fine Riesling is located at an elevation some 460 metres above sea level with vines more than twenty years of age. The wine underwent a cool fermentation in stainless steel. A very pale lemon hue to this Clare Valley Riesling, but the expected intense aromas of florals, limes and jasmine are all in place, as is a minerally backing. This is well balanced, offers zesty acidity, is a wine of medium length and it will provide attractive drinking now and over the next five years. - Ken Gargett, Winepilot
