O'Leary Walker

Polish Hill River Riesling 2015

Brand new vintage, super fresh. Musk, lots of acid freshness with great minerality. My pick over the Watervale. — 10 years ago

Leonay DW T17 Rhine Riesling 1990

An Australian icon-aged Clare Valley Riesling (in those days called Rhine Riesling unfortunately due to our country's slim knowledge base but later corrected against a barrage of opposition from conservatives and industrial makers of riesling, but not using riesling!) Classic glass of flavour; #honey #burnttoast #agedriesling #brulee #butter #crunch #yum #mouthful #watervale #treasuryestates ; wine made by the great man John Vickery before his defection to Richmond Grove when the Fosters people closed the brand down; but now it is back! Wine won three gold medals in the year of production-1990; probably never shown since. 12.5%; 1990 a terrific red year, usually not so for riesling; this had backbone; sweet acidity; nut power. — 11 years ago

Watervale Clare Valley Riesling 2013

Solid hints of pineapple and stone fruit, with a dry finish that I'd recommend a spicy Thai to accompany with. — 11 years ago

Grosset

Watervale Riesling 1998

Better than we could have hoped for. A touch oxidised but still with loads of structure and flavour to the palate. Stunning fine acid. Yum on a hot day. — 11 years ago
