Penna Lane Skilly Valley Riesling 2025
$33, 10.3% alcohol, screwcap, Clare Valley.
Exquisitely dry, gently textural, whispered with slate and full of class. This is Clare Valley riesling at its dry, persistent, mouthwatwering best. Lime, floral notes, slate and a whisper of strawberry and/or blackcurrant bud. It’s a beautiful, dry, crisp riesling, light, lingering and ultimately satisfying. 94 points.
