Adelina, a boutique winery known for its focus on terroir and minimal intervention winemaking, produces this wine to capture the purity and precision of the Clare Valley's Riesling grapes.

Appearance: Pale straw with a hint of green, reflecting the wine’s youth and freshness.
Aroma: The nose is vibrant and expressive, offering citrus-driven notes of lime zest, lemon blossom, and green apple. There are subtle floral hints of jasmine and white flowers, with underlying wet stone and slate minerality that gives the wine an added layer of complexity.
Taste: Light-bodied with razor-sharp acidity, the palate bursts with flavours of lime, lemon, and green apple, balanced by a fine, chalky minerality that gives the wine texture and depth. There’s a crisp, clean precision to the wine, with a refreshing zesty character that’s typical of Clare Valley Riesling. The wine's purity and energy are highlighted by its linear structure and vibrant mouthfeel.
Finish: Long and refreshing, with lingering citrus and a fine mineral edge that leaves a crisp, mouth-watering finish.
Food Pairings: This Riesling pairs beautifully with fresh seafood such as oysters or grilled prawns, where its acidity and minerality complement the briny flavours of the seafood. It also works well with spicy Asian dishes, like Thai or Vietnamese cuisine, where the wine’s bright acidity balances the heat and aromatic spices.
