Sourced from the Polish Hill River vineyard, situated 5km South-East of the Clare township. The vineyard is owned by Rob and Lyn Jaeschke, who purchased the vineyard from Penfolds in 2010. The vineyard is planted on grey-brown loam-based soils, over sandy limestone and shale rock. The Riesling vines are almost 20 years old, planted on 50-year-old root stock.

After narrowly escaping the devastating effects of a November frost that wiped out much of the Polish Hill River subregion, the Jaeschke family nurtured a spectacular crop of Riesling to ripeness through both drought and then flooding rains. The unique blend of vintage conditions has delivered a wine of both richness and elegance. The bouquet is highly perfumed with aromas of Nashi pear, gardenia, and yuzu, with hints of passionfruit, papaya and fresh lime juice. The palate is crisp yet richly textured, with a fine, talc-like minerality imparting a pleasing slipperiness to the texture in the mouth. Bright flavours of Honeycrisp apple and guava run a fine line between sweet and tart, balanced by decadent, spice-laden richness evocative of marzipan, saffron kulfi, and almond biscotti. The elegant and complex palate is punctuated with an electric line of acidity, imparting exceptional length and a clean, crisp finish.
