The 2026 Seppeltsfield Watervale Single Vineyard Riesling is a dry Clare Valley Riesling from the renowned Watervale subregion of South Australia. The wine comes from Seppeltsfield’s historic Watervale vineyard, where old Geisenheim-clone Riesling vines grow on free-draining soils over limestone, siltstone and slate. Expect bright lime and lemon, apple and delicate floral notes with a distinctive talc-like minerality.
On the palate, it is light, dry and tightly focused, with vibrant citrus fruit, mouth-watering acidity and a fine, textural mineral line. Watervale’s elevated vineyards and limestone-influenced soils help give the wine its characteristic freshness, precision and persistent dry finish.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for those who enjoy classic Clare Valley Riesling with intense citrus, crisp acidity and mineral definition. Enjoy young for its vibrant freshness or allow it to develop with careful cellaring. Ideal with oysters, sashimi, grilled prawns, crispy whiting or fresh shellfish.
