Leasingham Classic Clare Valley Riesling 2008
With 7 Trophies and 9 Golds under its belt, you could say that this dry Aussie Riesling is a bit of a superstar. It's from an iconic century-old winery in Clare Valley, top region for this grape. The 2008 is still brimful with racy lime minerality.
We're sorry, this wine is sold out.

But don't worry, you'll find plenty more handpicked wines here.

The Wine
Leasingham is one of the great legands of Australian wine. They were founded in 1893, but only started planting Riesling in the Clare Valley after WW2.

Grapes for the Leasingham Classic are nearly all from a one-hectare parcel in this premium, cooler climate region, all of it planted on red loam over slate.

Showing more complexity now but still very fresh, the 2008 white has pure lime, green apple fruit and minerality, with honeyed notes stealing in. A top partner with seafood.
