Vickery Watervale The Reserve Riesling

Pale straw in colour with gold hues and a silver rim. The bouquet shows powerful aromatics due to the heat of the season. Full flavours of lime and nectarine, hints of honey and golden syrup. Intense flavours of lime with a fresh palate and clean structure. Textural, chalky acidity with pinopoint sharpness. Vibrant and zippy, moving through to a long, lingering finish.

Vickery Wines is the culmination of John Vickery’s half-century of winemaking experience, partnered alongside family friend and talented winemaker Phil Lehmann. Together they create Rieslings that showcase John’s extensive expertise with the most noble of white wine varieties. It begins in the regions where John made his mark. Eden Valley in the Barossa and Watervale in the Clare Valley. It goes further into the sub-districts of these regions that John knows intimately, and partnering with growers who have the right vineyards in the right locations to produce the best possible fruit. Once fruit is picked at optimum ripeness, Phil and John employ the winemaking techniques that he has refined and perfected over time, to craft Rieslings that carry his signature style and fastidious quality standards. The Vickery label is in effect, a time capsule for John’s wealth of winemaking knowledge. John Vickery is the acknowledged old master of Riesling in Australia,
