O'Leary Walker Watervale Riesling 750ml

Vintage 2024

96 Points. A wine of finesse, bright acidity, balance and great length. 96 Points From a pair of Clare Riesling masters, comes a masterful pair of Clare Rieslings. This Watervale Riesling is simply superb. A very pale yellow, we have notes of grapefruits, talc, spices and florals with a minerally background. A wine of finesse, bright acidity, balance and great length. A scintillating Riesling with focus, this will be a joy any time over the next twelve to fifteen years. Early reports suggest that 2024 will be a thrilling vintage, as good – in its own way – as ‘21 and ‘22.

95 Points. Pretty and zesty, this is a most enjoyable release. Always the prettier of the two O’Leary Walker Rieslings I find, this 2024 Watervale hits a home run once again. It’s simply a high-quality glass of happiness. Pretty and zesty, this is a most enjoyable release. Pretty white field flowers and bath salts always feature and this 2024 is no different. Lemon juice, lime leaf and lime zest, there is a fine ribbon of quartz minerality tucked in behind. It leaves a vibrant trail highlighted by a sherbety tang. Devine. Beautiful drinking. Drink this while it’s fresh on those hot summer days. QWine Reviews, 04 Oct 2024
