2009 Clare Valley Estate Defender of the Faith Riesling

Clare Valley 12.0% Screwcap $? Source: Sample

A Llama

Another wine sent to me by Greysonline. The auction seems to be over but from memory it went for about 5 bucks a bottle in a dozen. You just know the wine is going to be classy by the name…There doesn’t seem to be a winery website or any info/images, so I’ll make this quick.

It’s not undrinkable, but it’s lacking in focus and acid. Broad citrus flavours with some pithy notes. Lime cordial and lemonade. Advanced notes of honeysuckle and wax. Best thing about it was the orange blossom. I dunno, I suppose there is market for this stuff, but it ain’t me.
