The wine displays lifted fresh and vibrant aromas. Lemon and lime citrus characters abound, followed by layers of subtle blossom and enticing floral notes. On the palate, the wine displays intense lemon and lime characters along with hints of orange blossom. The finish is crisp and resonates with citrus fruit - hallmarks of a great Clare Valley Riesling.

The Clare Valley is renowned for its fine dry Riesling wines. All the grapes for the Wakefield Estate Riesling come from the Taylor family's own Clare Valley vineyards. The grapes were harvested at night as quickly as possible during this period in early February to maintain yields and this resulted in excellent fruit quality.

Wakefield is a third generation family wine business and was founded in 1969 by Bill Taylor who was inspired by his love for the red wines of Bordeauxs Medoc region. He was drawn to South Australias Clare Valley with the attraction of the red-brown loam over limestone soils (also known as Terra Rossa) and the Clare Valleys cool climate which were known to be ideal for the cultivation of Cabernet Sauvignon vines. Today Wakefield is headed up by Mitchell Taylor whose philosophy blends an old world estate mind set with new world winemaking innovation; coupled with an almost fanatical attention to detail and obsession with quality. This results in wines of tremendous quality and style that are made with respect for the companys family heritage. Wakefield was recently acclaimed as the most Awarded Winery in the World by The World Association of Wine Writers and Journalists (WAWWJ).
