The Story
This grape holds a very special place in Bryan Martins’s heart, having made it at Clonakilla for many years and having consumed more than his fair share of the Rieslings of the world.
"Matured and aged in foudre barrels. Brilliant, vivid riesling of textural nuance, savoury elements, bright, citrusy get-up-and-go with intensity and yet approachability hand-in-hand. It smells and tastes like fresh limes, green apples, halva and green almond with a crackle of minerally zing underlying. Refreshing, but a wine of more depth than regional staples of the variety, with a gentle mellowness appearing. Released right in the zone, thank you. Delicious. Rated : 95 Points" Mike Bennie.
