Mr. Mick Riesling reflects the classic Clare Valley Bin 5 style championed by local winemakers in the late 1960s — generous fruit, a touch of residual sweetness, and crisp natural acidity that makes it one of the most food-friendly Rieslings in Australia. Made by Tim Adams from free-run juice only, this is a pristine, fruit-driven wine with genuine cellaring potential.
Tasting Notes
Aroma
Generous lemon and lime juice with a jasmine perfume. Fresh, aromatic and inviting.
Palate
1Classic Australian Riesling style with a splash of fruit sweetness balancing the crisp natural acidity. Generous length of fruit flavour and a clean, precise finish.
Winemaking
Riesling grapes harvested at peak flavour maturity from vineyards across the central and northern Clare Valley. Destemmed, must-chilled, free-run juice only. Clarified and fermented for 14 days at low temperatures to preserve purity and fruit character.
Pairs With
Fresh seafood, Thai cuisine, Vietnamese salads, soft cheeses, and herb-based dishes. Excellent on its own as an aperitif.
Riesling grapes were harvested at their peak flavour maturity from vineyards through the central and southern Clare Valley. After de-stemming, and must chilling, juice was separated from skins, clarified and fermented for 14 days. The use of ‘free-run’ juice only ensures continuation of the true Mr Mick style – crisp, pure and fruit driven. It is a pristine wine with generous length of fruit flavour; a great example which reflects a stunning 2024 vintage with dry, cool ripening conditions, resulting in maximum varietal expression.
