Winemaker Notes
The colour is light pale green with brilliant green hues. The bouquet shows a complex and intense mixture of aromas - limes, lemons, oriental spice, and orange blossom. Typical of the Clare Riesling style, the primary fruit flavours are lifted and enhanced by flinty/wet slate aromas.
The palate shows elegance and finesse in true Clare Valley Riesling style. The intense, yet delicate lime, lemon and spice characters are bountiful on the front palate, supported by a steely/flinty/slate backbone. The natural acidity in the wine is perfectly balanced to give the wine a long, pleasantly clean and crisp lemon finish. This wine can be enjoyed now or cellared for up to 15 years.
Professional Ratings
- Wine Spectator
Founded in 1999, Elysian Fields is one of Australia's newer wine labels, and it's already being embraced as one of the country's most promising. The label is owned and run by one of Australia's leading young winemakers, Tim Burvill. Tim is a graduate of the University of Adelaide with an Honours degree in Oenology. And his previous winemaking experience was with Penfolds. There, he was responsible for his super premium white wines, including one of Australia's most expensive chardonnays, Yattarna. Tim's winemaking philosophy is to obtain the finest grapes from the region where the variety grows best. He then uses minimal intervention in the winemaking process in order to preserve the natural fruit flavors and remain faithful to the terroir.
