Description
Clemens Hill was founded over 20 years ago in a remarkable setting within the bucolic Coal River Valley.
The wines of Clemens Hill are and will always be, an expression of the whims of nature inexorably bound to the wisdom of winemaking.
Indeed, the pursuit of a vinous expression of place takes precedence over the pursuit of accolades, but perhaps as a result of that philosophy, over time the wines have become festooned with prizes and accolades.
Clemens Hill vineyard nestles into the north-east facing slopes of the ancient glacial carving that is the Coal River Valley.
It sits just 75m above sea level and is cooled by maritime valley breezes while capturing the bright crystalline sun.
It enjoys both shelter and exposure.
Rainfall is a capricious 500mm per annum, so it is supplemented with irrigation in times of stress.
Loaded with citrus, melon and subtle gingery spice on the nose.
Persistent long and lingering citrus flavours – grapefruit, lime, lemon, orange zest – but with a softness seldom seen in youthful Riesling.
