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
This unique sparkling Clare Valley Riesling has a bright lemon colour with aromas of citrus fruit and orange blossom alongside more savoury notes such as yeast and biscuit. The palate is rich and complex with typical zesty lime, pineapple, floral and honey flavours. This is balanced by a persistent fine mousse, and a naturally high acidity of the Riesling grape to give a fresh and clean finish. Made using the Charmat Method, where the base wine from multiple vintages is fermented in a pressure tank to give the fine bead along with complexity.
Food
An excellent aperitif but also with Asian cuisine, cheese platters, dried fruit, rich seafood like lobster or scallops, artichokes or truffle infused risottos.
