Most of us are aware that Clare Riesling consistently overdelivers for the price, particularly when you get one of those quality-over-quantity vintages like 2025. But this recent review by the Australian Vintage Journal should make you sit up and take notice of this little Inigo wine. Scoring on par with wines such as Pikes The Merle, Pauletts 109 Reserve and Koerner Slate, this is a significant endorsement for a wine at this price point.

“The sense of place is strong with this Riesling, with its dusty florals and citrus charm woven through warm textures. Intense lime and spice light up the aroma with sweet-smelling herbal edges and apple blossom florals. How delightful to see this level of complexity in a Riesling so young. Flavours run deep in full citrus mode – pith, peel and juice – with spice, and the weight gathers through the finish with a light savoury flourish to close.
