Claymore Superstition Reserve Riesling 2025 from Clare Valley is a bewitching old‑vine Watervale Riesling – pale lemon in the glass, tightly coiled, and humming with energy from 80‑plus‑year‑old dry‑grown vines. It’s the more intense, ageworthy sibling to Joshua Tree, built for Riesling lovers.

On the nose, Superstition Reserve Riesling 2025 is gorgeously aromatic with lime blossom, jasmine, citrus zest, sherbet and river‑stone minerality. The palate is light‑bodied but fiercely focused, all racy, lip‑smacking acidity wrapped around pure lime, lemon splice, pulpy grapefruit and chalky minerality. A touch of residual sugar only polishes the fruit; it drinks bone‑dry and high‑tension.

For food, think oysters, natural or with a squeeze of lime, kingfish crudo, chilli‑lime prawns, Vietnamese salads or simple grilled fish with lemon. It’s also a brilliant match for soft goat’s cheese, sushi and lightly spiced Asian dishes – and an absolute star to stash away for a decade.
