The 2022 Naked Run Der Zweite Clare Valley Riesling is a distinctive Kabinett-style Riesling that offers a refreshing off-dry expression of this classic Clare Valley variety. Sourced from a single block of Riesling in Sevenhill, the wine balances natural fruit sweetness with vibrant acidity, opening with bright aromas of lime, lemon, green apple and delicate white flowers, complemented by a subtle mineral lift.
On the palate, it is light-bodied with lively citrus flavours, crisp green apple and hints of white peach. A touch of residual sweetness is beautifully balanced by bright acidity, creating a fresh, clean finish with excellent length and precision. This approachable style makes it especially versatile at the table while retaining the freshness and purity that Clare Valley Riesling is known for.
Ben's Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for customers who enjoy an off-dry Riesling with vibrant citrus fruit and refreshing balance. It pairs beautifully with Thai curries, spicy Asian cuisine, fresh prawns, sushi or lightly spiced seafood dishes. Best served well chilled and enjoyed over the next 5–8 years, with the potential to develop additional complexity with careful cellaring.
