‘COLLABORATION’ RIESLING CLONAL BLEND 2009

‘The only wine in the “Clonal Project” that’s sold separately is worth picking up, you don’t get all the subtlety and nuance you get from the individual clonal bottlings, but here you’ll get the best of the Riesling world even though all clones are represented in equal parts: 25% Clone 21 (Old and New), Clone 49 and Clone 239. This one is approachable with a good lengthy finish as well as being mouth-filling with flavour. Apple skin, lemony notes, Bartlett pear and many more layers can be found … the finish lingers longer than most in the series, while the wine itself from nose to palate is layered and lovely. Rating: ****+’
