Description
Clos Clare is a boutique winery located in the famous Florita Vineyard of Watervale in the Clare Valley, owned and run by 3rd generation wine growers/makers Sam and Tom Barry. The Barry family bought this property in 1986 from Leo Buring in which the fruit from this vineyard went into making the benchmark Leonay wine. When the Warilto Homestead was sub divided including a small 45 year old 5 acre parcel of the vineyard to Ian Saunders, Clos Clare was born and is now proudly the wines of the Barry brothers.
Riesling is the Clare Valley ‘s signature variety and this vineyard from clos Clare’s Riesling patch adjoins the historic ‘Florita ‘ vineyard in Watervale.
From the winemaker about this wine: “Aromas of white flowers, citrus, wet stone, and grapefruit flesh. The palate is lively, with lime, mandarine and grapefruit flavours, a zippy acid drive with bath salts and stone fruits on the finish.”
95 points, Gary Walsh, The Wine Front “Particularly good intensity to be found in the 2022 Clare Valley Rieslings. Lime, pink grapefruit, bath salts, a little spice, thyme and generally good waft of perfume. It’s intense, with a grapefruit pith and gin and tonic flavour, lime/lemon sorbet, a stony chalky feel, clean acidity, excellent length, with a pleasing quinine and lime zest tang to close. Classic Watervale. A terrific vintage for this wine.”
