He had over 50 vintages behind him, and while he’s sadly passed away, his legacy is in safe hands with Keeda Zilm. Keeda has been the driving force behind the winemaking here for years, ensuring these remain some of the most reliable, well-priced Rieslings in the country.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2025 season was warm and dry, leading to a fast harvest with small yields. Keeda started picking in early February to make sure the fruit kept its intensity without losing that bright, racy edge the Clare is famous for. A key part of the house style is using a bit of the pressings in the blend - it adds extra flavour and weight without bringing in any bitter, grippy phenolics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt’s a generous, aromatic white that leads with apple blossom, fennel, and plenty of juicy citrus. The palate is packed with fruit but stays lean and focused, finishing with a long, zesty zing. This is exactly what Australian Riesling should be: clean, bone-dry, and great value. Drink it young at a long lunch or stick it in the cellar for a decade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e94 points\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Pale with a flash of green, with crystalline aromas of freshly squeezed lime, grapefruit and green apple, hints of meadow flowers, crushed stone, makrut lime, minerals and lemongrass. Taut and nervy with a dry, savoury endpoint, this is a wine that drips with minerals and pure limey intensity.\"\u003cbr\u003e- Dave Brookes (Halliday Wine Companion)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e","brand":"Vickery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43857253072939,"sku":"2025 Vickery Watervale Riesling","price":24.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2572\/9722\/files\/2020VickeryWatervaleRiesling.png?v=1743989441","url":"https:\/\/www.differentdrop.com\/products\/2025-vickery-watervale-riesling","provider":"Different Drop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
