Region
The spectacular Clare Valley in South Australia is known as one of the best wine-growing regions on the globe. One of Australia`s oldest wine regions and is probably best known for its Riesling wines. Polish Hill River is a sub-region one and a half hours drive north from Adelaide, with slate soils for a flintier style Riesling. The region is made up of smaller boutique wineries, so you are bound to find amazing gems by those producing on a smaller scale.
Producer
Pauletts have been making award-winning wines for nearly 40 years. Starting in a little tin shed nestled in the valley of the Polish Hill River region, this family winery has grown into an internationally acclaimed and award-winning winery. Pauletts have a reputation for producing wines of finesse, elegance and intensity that truly reflect the region due to their dedication and care from vintage to vintage. This lovely property now extends to 150 hectares with 47 planted with vines.
Tasting Notes
Pale straw with green hues. Fragrant and floral with subtle orange blossom, citrus and wet slate nuances.
Lemon, lime and minerality support a balanced and elegant style. The acid and grape sweetness provides length and persistence.
