The 2022 Clos Clare Watervale Riesling Magnum (1500ml) is an elegant Australian white wine from Watervale in South Australia's Clare Valley, produced by the family-owned Clos Clare winery. Crafted from Riesling, this wine reflects the region's limestone-influenced soils, warm days and cool nights, which encourage vibrant acidity and concentrated citrus flavours. Its anticipated aromas include fresh lime, lemon zest, green apple and white peach, complemented by delicate floral notes and subtle mineral complexity.
On the palate, it is expected to be light to medium-bodied with crisp acidity and a precise, refreshing texture. Flavours of juicy lime, grapefruit, green apple and lemon peel unfold alongside hints of citrus blossom and chalky minerality. Its bright citrus character creates a beautifully balanced Riesling with freshness and elegance. The finish is dry and persistent, leaving lingering impressions of lime zest and delicate mineral notes.
