Spices and petrol on the nose.
Grapefruit rind, lime, slightly effervecent on the tongue, peppery. Very intense, very lean, with a real edge. Certainly a wine that needs food.
Long grapefruit rind finish.
Screwcap closure.

Hello Bruce,
Don't think I've ever tried any "Clare Valley" stuff before. Are you're notes in any way typical of that appellation? Also, do you have a food recommendation for pairing?

>tannoy system, no more open mike this month< LOL.

So what you are saying is that the petroleum in yourn Aussie Rieslings mainly is due to too high levels of sulphur(?) Sounds a bit strange to me, but I'd love to hear more knowledge about this.
Cheers, Anders
