The Clare Valley is renowned for its fine dry Riesling wines. All the grapes for the Wakefield Estate Riesling come from the Taylor family's own Clare Valley vineyards. They were picked in mid-February at night to protect the delicate varietal characteristics of the grape.
Tasting note
Fresh flavours of stone fruit combine with a touch of nectarine, cashews and an underlying creaminess from extended lees stirring to deliver a mouth-filling and enjoyable wine. The wine has a clean, elegant palate and long, slightly warming finish.
