2014 PAULETT POLISH HILL RIVER RIESLING - LEMON

Paulett is a respected Clare Valley producer. When it comes to Riesling, Paulett is one of the few to release a Riesling when semi-mature, an excellent initiative that gives those without a cellar, or the patience to age their wines, the opportunity to see Clare Valley Riesling in its full glory.

The 2014 vintage rendition of the standard Paulett Polish Hill River Riesling is unmistakeably Clare Riesling. Lemon, lime and talc are writ large over this wine. Flavours are moderate in intensity and the acidity is relatively soft, suggesting that it will be a relatively early maturing wine. While there is little complain about, the wine lacks a touch in terms of excitement and wow factor.
