The 2024 Kaesler Stonehorse Riesling is a vibrant and beautifully pure Clare Valley Riesling sourced from mature estate vineyards in the renowned Watervale sub-region. Crafted in a classic dry Australian style, the wine highlights the precision, freshness and minerality that have made Clare Valley one of the world’s benchmark Riesling regions. The cool and extended 2024 growing season delivered excellent natural acidity and aromatic intensity, allowing Kaesler to produce a Riesling with both immediate drinkability and impressive ageing potential.
The nose reveals fresh lime, lemon zest and green apple layered alongside white flowers, lychee and subtle chalky minerality. On the palate, it is crisp and finely structured with taut acidity, bright citrus energy and a beautifully clean mineral backbone. Layers of lime juice, nectarine and delicate stone fruit unfold with freshness and precision, finishing long, dry and refreshing with classic Clare Valley tension and purity.
Ben’s Recommendation:
The 2024 Kaesler Stonehorse Riesling is a fresh, zesty and beautifully balanced Riesling — vibrant, mineral and incredibly food-friendly. Perfect with oysters, fresh seafood, spicy Asian dishes or light summer dining. Enjoy now for its youthful citrus freshness or cellar comfortably through 2035+.
