From 23-year-old biodynamically farmed vineyards—and from arguably Australia's most famed Riesling producer—this reveals heady yet delicate aromas of lime leaf, lemon, white floral and talcum powder—with a stony, mineral undertow. It pulses on the bone-dry palate, driving a straight line down the tongue with racy acidity and chalk-dust texture. A multifaceted wine now, this most classic Clare Riesling could age in bottle for well over a decade. — Christina Pickard

(95+ points) The 2023 Springvale Riesling is exotic, fleshy and sumptuous in the mouth. Steely minerality flows alongside saffron, curry leaves, white pear, spring flowers and crushed rocks. It's a really, really pretty, wine. A gorgeous thing and a total pleasure. I like it—is that obvious? 12.9% alcohol, sealed under screw cap.- EL

Reticent of aroma, yet the coil of acidity underpinning this wine is juicy rather than hard as I have often found it in the past. A workout in the glass reveals green apple, Asian pear, anise, spa salts and chalky pungency. The ripeness is on point. Properly mid-weighted, forceful of extract and dutifully long. This will age well across the mid-term, as its track record attests. From biodynamically grown grapes. Drink or hold. Screw cap. Ned Goodwin MW Senior Editor
