2020 `Springvale` Clare Valley Riesling David Sly, Decanter – 96 points From the coolest and highest vineyard in the Watervale sub-region of Clare Valley, Springvale is a truly unique viticultural site due to its geology, relative isolation and high altitude. ‘From the first gentle whiff of pretty citrus blossoms, this exhibits a fragile, filigree beauty akin to fine porcelain. Starting with a waft of lemon meringue and a suggestion of rosewater, the sleek flavour profile is propelled by zesty limes with a lick of wet-stone minerality peeking through in a back-palate that is supple, fine and extremely long.’
