Vickery Wines Watervale Riesling 2024 is a refined and expressive white wine from Clare Valley, crafted as a sub-regional blend sourced from six trusted growers, some with vines planted as far back as the 1970s. The 2024 vintage was cool with moderate rainfall, allowing for extended hang time that enhanced aromatic lift and flavor complexity while maintaining vibrant freshness. The fruit was hand-picked within a tight 10-day window under ideal conditions of cool, dry nights, and quickly pressed with early press-cutting to preserve flavor without bitterness.

The wine offers generous aromas of apple blossom, fennel, juicy citrus, and subtle floral notes, with a crunchy and zesty palate featuring lime, green apple skin, talc, and limestone minerality. It has an elegant, delicate character and a long, refreshing finish. Critically acclaimed with scores around 92-95 points, it is seen as a stylish, balanced Riesling suitable for drinking young or cellaring for 12-15 years, representing outstanding value in Australian Riesling.
