Description

This exclusive collection of back vintage Riesling includes 1 bottle of each of the following vintages: 2009, 2013, 2014, 2016, 2019 and 2020.

We always hold back a small amount of wine from each vintage to re-release as aged wine. The winemakers recently tasted a selection of Riesling and the general consensus was summed up by a unanimous “yum!’.

Hesitantly, they have decided to make available a limited number of vertical 6 packs for others to enjoy. Valued at $238 available for $218 until sold out.

Winemaking Notes

The overall comment by the winemaking team was “yum!” Tim even said, he wanted to keep the wines for himself, but thought he had better share these carefully aged Rieslings with other Riesling fans.

Further tasting notes and comments include:

2012 – 11 year old wine showing some enjoyable aged Riesling characters both on the nose and palate, supported by great acidity and a firm citric structure. Enjoy now or keep for another 10 years.

“An attractive well balanced wine from start to finish”. 93/100 Halliday Wine Companion

2013 – Showing greater density than the 2012, reflecting a drier year. Rich and ripe fruit. Best enjoyed now.

“It’s more generous than the normal Tim Adams Riesling – it overflows with generous fruit, verging on tropical but not sugar sweet”. 94/100 Halliday Wine Companion

2014 – Stone fruit and candied lemon dominate the nose, but the wine still shows the same acid structure and freshness as 5 years ago. Be quick before Tim takes the last stock!

“Bright, crisp and with the hallmark Clare Valley length; lemon blossom and lemon flavour is the fulcrum for both present and future enjoyment”. 95/100 Halliday Wine Companion

2016 – Younger version of the 2013 Riesling. The wine has a luscious palate with subtle stone fruit characters sustained by a delicate but precise citric structure.

“The fine structure and strict line through the palate speaks to its blue chip future”. 92/100 Halliday Wine Companion

2019 – A cooler than average three months leading in to vintage meant that this Riesling retained good natural acidity and therefore added freshness enhancing our trademark brisk finish.

“Direct, linear Riesling best suited for the cellar, Impeccable”. 92/100 Halliday Wine Companion

2020 – This wine has lifted varietal Riesling character with floral and citrus aromatics of grapefruit, lime and lemon. The palate is seamless with a richness of flavour built from dry ripening conditions leading into vintage. This wine will develop further during the next 10 years.

It’s refreshing, thoroughly enjoyable and dangerously easy to drink“. 94/100 Halliday Wine Companion

 

Food Pairing

This back vintage selection of Riesling will pair well with seafood dishes.  Aged Riesling also makes a great match to Zucchini blossom & preserved lemon risotto with ricotta & parmesan or variations that include these ingredients.
