Alcatraz Vineyard is loacated in the heart of the famed Watervale Sub region of the Clare Valley. Planted in 1962 on an exposed easterly facing slope, it was givent the nickname "Alcatraz" as there was no escaping the cold, wet winter days spent working the vines and the name has stuck.

Leonay is one of Australia's classic Rieslings. A wine of great power and elegance with tremendous varietal defintion it can be enjoyed in it's youth but invariably improves in the bottle for many years.

Grab this bargain while stocks last! Always one of the most anticipated annual Riesling releases, O'Leary Walker continue to create classic Clare Rieslings with massive ageing potential.

Crisp, tangy and delicate, Mr Riggs Watervale Riesling displays a pale yellow with lime hues. Vibrant bouquet of stone fruit, slate and zesty lime. Fine acidity and great balance, the palate is an explosion of fresh yellow fruit and superb minerality.

Jim Barry is a master of Riesling and this 2014 vintage won't disappoint. It opens with aromas of lifted spice, orange blossom and lime. This offers a huge volume of flavour of grapefruit, lime and spice, with a palate that exhibits great line and drive. There is a creaminess to the palate balanced by the crisp acidity on the finish.

Mount Horrocks Semillon strikes the perfect balance between being aromatic and oaked. It also strides the line by being more full-bodied than Riesling but lighter than Chardonnay. Take pleasure as you swirl the pale straw wine in your glass, sniff the shy but appealing apple and ripe pear aromas, and sip the vibrant and refreshing fruit flavours of apple, white peach and lemon. The vanillin oak influence renders a silky texture, leading to a complex, elegant, long and dry finish. Match this wine with seafood such as oysters, crab, clams, fish and prawns. Asian chicken and pork dishes would also be favourable pairings with this drink.

Geoff Weaver has journeyed from the big end of town to a tiny, intimate pocket of the Adelaide Hills. From his role as chief winemaker for the Hardy group of companies, in 1992 he made the break from corporate winemaking to pursue his own dream on the Lenswood vineyard that he and wife Judith had started planting a decade earlier. Those vines, some of the oldest in the Hills, are really reaping the rewards of maturity. Tightly structured yet aromatically lifted wine but with a supple mid-palate and a fine, crisp finish. The nose is fresh and lively with a lifted aroma of lime blossom. The palate is fruity with a juicy zest and a fine mineral edge.

Pale straw. Subtle lemon/lime citrus. Familiar citrus notes and a clean minerality ensuring a balanced end.

Floral and refreshing, blossom and lime zest dominate the palate. The wine is crisp and dry with a beautiful zing of grapefruit like acidity.
