Atlas Watervale Riesling 2023 - Clare Valley
Closure: Screw Cap
Bottle size: 750ml
Available online only
Fruit was sourced from premium, dry grown vineyards in the Watervale subregion of the Clare Valley, where the vines are rooted in quintessential "terra rossa" soils over limestone. They are hand-pruned and shoot thinned to ensure balanced ripening, before being harvested in the cool of the night. The combination of these conditions and the long, mild 2023 growing season resulted in concentrated fruit with great levels of natural acidity and ripe fruit flavour.
This Riesling displays lifted aromas of Kaffir lime and citrus blossom that are classically Watervale in nature. The palate is concentrated and flinty with grapefruit and candied peel flavours complemented by hints of green apples, framed around a tight mineral backbone and pithy texture. The crisp acidity, a result of the mild season, gives the wine finesse and great length, which drinks well now but will cellar for many years to come.

Producers notes
Atlas Wines was established in 2007 by Adam Barton and Amy Lane. Their vision, simply to produce great wines from exceptional people and places. Like its name denotes, Atlas is a collection of these relationships and creations. Unbound, Atlas Wines charts its own course. In searching out these vineyards, Adam has come to know intimately the complexity and diversity of the Clare Valley, and how the unique characteristics of different sites – geology, soil, groundwater, climate and weather, aspect, slope and more – produce fruit with unique qualities. It’s these qualities that he has sought to express through the wines he has made.
