The Inigo Riesling comes from three blocks on the Sevenhill property, which reach ripeness around the same time, but bring different complexities to the final wine. Each block is vinified separately with different yeast strains. The grapes are crushed and chilled prior to gentle pressing and cool ferments.

A vintage to benefit the drinker rather than the producer, low rainfall, small berries and reduced yields were offset by incredibly intense flavour. The reduced crop meant that no 27 Miles Riesling was made in 2026, and so all the fruit from the old-vine Weikert block (Geisenheim clone) was included in this Inigo blend. Only at 11% ABV but packing multiple punches regardless, this is full of layers of citrus and citrus rind, with a subtle pithy note. A powerhouse palate exploding with concentrated citrus leads to old-fashioned lemonade and white florals, anchored by a core of acidity that delivers the classic Clare Valley clarity and drive.

“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.

2024
The warm and compact vintage of 2024 has provided some luscious white nectarine and orange blossom characters to the wine but pinpoint harvest timing has ensured it’s still Sevenhill’s bracing and well defined style. The wine has it’s trademark limey drive backed by terroir-sourced minerality and fruit purity. A classic Clare Riesling to drink in it’s youth, medium-term cellaring will also work its magic with this.
