Shut The Gate Estate Block Riesling

Shut The Gate Estate Block Riesling 2023 from Shut The Gate in Clare Valley is a dry, tightly wound Riesling with classic Clare line and plenty of cellar potential. This Estate Block Riesling 2023 opens with lemon curd, citrus blossom, white flowers and a touch of lime and green apple, then finishes with crisp acidity, fine minerality and a long, clean trail. It’s a focused, beautifully balanced Riesling that already feels composed, but still has plenty of energy.

It’s a beaut with oysters, prawns, grilled fish and calamari, where the citrus snap and mineral line keep the food tasting fresh and precise. It also works with Thai food, sushi, goat’s cheese and fresh salads, especially when you want something that can handle brightness and a bit of spice on the plate. Serve Shut The Gate Estate Block Riesling 2023 well chilled for long lunches or summer entertaining, and it’ll bring a clean, refreshing edge to the table.

Shut The Gate’s newly acquired estate block gives this wine a genuine sense of place, and the 1970-planted dry-grown vineyard adds to its authenticity. The 2023 vintage already has strong value and critical traction, including a 93-point note and praise for its line, length and texture. If you want a Clare Valley Riesling with poise, purity and proper ageing potential, this is a standout choice.
