The long term forecast for South Australia, from the weather
bureau, indicates that we will reach temperatures similar to 07 and 08. In
those years we experienced extremely hot period with over two weeks of 40
degree plus temperatures in a row. The wines from these years were fruit
forward with many lacking structure. Some 08 wines look spectacular if they
were picked before the heat. It just depends when the heat comes. We will wait
and see how this year’s vintage turns out but in the meantime stock up on this
wine.
Leo Buring Clare Valley Riesling 2012
This wine comes in two parts. Firstly the entry which is light
in weight but has nice intense flavours of lemon and lime cordial mixed with
talc powder, dried flowers and creamy high end soup. The second party hits on the mid-palate where
there is a textural element. In the end the wine finishes dry and crisp which
is perfect for a summer like we are expected to have.
