Clare Valley

Known for its Rieslings, all in screw cap since the year , the wines of Clare Valley are distinctive. The Riesling here is dry, dry, dry. Delicate yet firm, these wines won't remind you of Germany or Alsace - they have a flavor all their own. The lime flavors and zesty acidity make the wine perfect for summer sipping or pacific rim food (aka, seafood).

Even though the region is fairly hot, the acidity in the reds is higher that its southern neighbors. Good structure is common in both the reds and whites of the area, which makes them great for food.
