Scissor Hands - Clare Valley (Polish Hill River) Riesling
Clare Valley Riesling - more specifically, Dry Riesling from the Polish Hill sub region of the Clare Valley. This would have to be the wine of choice for anyone seeking out a clean, fresh and dry aromatic white wine. Lime, citrus flavours with floral notes and crisp mineral acidity.
The minute the temperature gets above mildly warm, grab a plate of fresh oysters and a bottle from the fridge, and spend half an hour outside enjoying your own little moment of paradise.

Production Notes:
Riesling grapes for this wine are from a low yielding single vineyard in the Polish Hill sub region of the Clare Valley. (Refer to the attached Google Earth link.)
The fruit achieved optimum flavour ripeness quite early in the growing season, when it was hand picked before the bunches were de-stemmed and crushed in preparation for fermentation.
The free run juice was inoculated with pure yeast culture in a single stainless steel vessel in order to retain the purity of flavour provided by the Riesling grape variety and the Polish Hill growing region. The wine was fermented to dry at a controlled temperature of between 12 -15 degrees prior to fining, filtration and bottling.
We prefer to drink Riesling when it is young and fresh, but the wines also possess an exceptional ability to age with appropriate cellaring.
