Floral characters on the nose, such as lavender and daises, accompany lime and musk, a hint of salted caramel and a pinch of lavender. Waves of basalt float across the palate. Delicate hints of kiwifruit, quince and crisp fuji apples linger on the palate.
Producer
Some Young Punks’ more experimental cousin VineMind is Colin and Jen’s brainchild, made with 100% Clare Valley fruit. VineMind Riesling is inspired by the wines of Rheinhessen and is rested in concrete after production to gain a slatey, textured palate. VineMind work with Viticulturist Dylan Grigg to better understand the vineyard and provide an educational standpoint. Their wines are for those who are searching for something from the new world that will challenge their ideas about Australian wines.
Region
South Australia’s Clare Valley, besides being one of Australia’s prettiest wine regions, is ground-zero for Riesling and a large selection of the countries finest examples. Approximately 120km north of Adelaide, the Clare Valley boasts a great diversity of soil types and a number of famous sub-regions along its length such as Polish Hill River, Watervale, Leasingham, Sevenhill and the Skillogalee Valley. Clare Valley Riesling is vivid in its purity, always having a reputation for being very precise and driven, though in recent times, we are seeing some producers play with skin contact and seasoned oak adding to the regions interest. It isn’t only white varieties that shine in the Clare with Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz do particularly well and it is the home of the stellar red wines of Australian wine royalty, Wendouree. Local Knowledge: The breakfast ramen at ‘`Seed’ in Clare with a glass of German Kabinett Riesling is a stroke of genius.
